Whole School Approach
Welcome to our dedicated Wellbeing section of the website
The last few years have been challenging with the pandemic, the cost of living crisis and the onset of more digital devices than ever.
We understand that life is challenging, the well being of our children, staff and parents is important. At St James we are a Mental Health Support Team school. This means we are committed to building a mentally healthy school enviornment helping all members of the school community to feel confident, resilient and independent around their mental wellbeing.
On these pages you will find a variety of services that offer support; locally, nationally and online and we outline how we support children, staff and our families
Here at St James we take the Mental Health and Wellbeing of children, staff and families very seriously.
There are 3 groups that we want to support...
- Children
- Staff
- Parents
So we have created a page for each on the website.
Fiona OConnor (Assistant Headteacher) is our designated Mental Health Lead and has been trained to do so.
