At Compass, we are committed to supporting the positive mental health and wellbeing of our whole school community (children, staff, parents and carers). We have a supportive and caring family ethos and our approach is centred on the value of ‘kindness’, where every individual is valued and respected. We endeavour to ensure that children are able to manage times of change and stress and aim to ensure that they are supported to reach their potential or to access help when they need it.
We also have a role to ensure that children learn about what they can do to maintain positive mental health, what affects their mental health, how they can help reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues, and where they can go if they require help and support.
At our school, we understand that at times, life presents us with challenges that can make us feel vulnerable and at times, we may require additional emotional support. We take the view that positive mental health is everybody’s business and that we all have a role to play in supporting each other.
For concerns relating to your child’s emotional wellbeing, please contact the Academy’s Mental Health Lead, Miss R Murray.
