Attendance & Wellbeing

Mental Health and Wellbeing 

Positive mental health is an important part of safeguarding. 

We support pupils through: 

• Pastoral support 
• Therapeutic interventions 
• Emotional wellbeing programmes 
• Mental health support 
• Family support services 
• Multi-agency working where appropriate 

Parents and carers who require support are encouraged to contact the school. 

Attendance and Welfare 

Good attendance is essential for children's safety, wellbeing and achievement. 

Our school works closely with families to support attendance and to identify any barriers that may be affecting a child's education or wellbeing. 

Unexplained absence is always followed up in line with our safeguarding procedures. 

Child-on-Child Abuse 

We recognise that children can abuse other children and that these behaviours can take place both inside and outside school, including online. 

Examples include: 

• Bullying 
• Physical abuse 
• Harmful sexual behaviour 
• Sexual harassment 
• Sexual violence 
• Emotional abuse 
• Online abuse 

All concerns are taken seriously and dealt with in accordance with our safeguarding procedures.  

Family Help 

Sometimes families need support before problems become more serious. 

Our school works with families and external agencies to provide support at the earliest opportunity. 

Early Help may involve: 

• Family support services 
• Health services 
• Social care support 
• Attendance support 
• Emotional wellbeing services 

Our aim is to help families access the right support at the right time.
