We are proud to announce that we are a myHappymind Bronze Accredited school!

This means that as a school we consider the mental health and wellbeing of our children as one of our top priorities. We have created a whole school culture that helps build our children's resilience, confidence and self esteem as well as teaching them how to self regulate in those stressful times.

This Accreditation badge has been awarded thanks to all the effort our staff, children, governors and parents have put in to bring the lessons of myHappymind to life all around our school!

Wellbeing at Grange Park

At Grange Park Primary School, we aim to promote positive mental health and wellbeing for our whole school community. We recognise how vital mental health and wellbeing is.

Through various initiatives such as My Happy Mind, bespoke nurture sessions, and fostering open communication channels, Grange Park strives to empower students to understand and manage their emotions effectively.

By prioritising mental health and wellbeing, the school aims to create a safe and nurturing environment where every child feels valued, supported, and equipped to thrive academically and personally.

Nurture

Grange Park offers nurture provision to targeted children. These are targeted interventions designed to support children who require assistance with their mental health and overall well-being. The sessions aim to create a nurturing and supportive environment where students can receive emotional support, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. Children are provided with a safe space to express their feelings, address any concerns or difficulties they may be facing, and develop skills to manage their emotions effectively.

Nurture sessions serve as a valuable resource for students who require additional support with their mental health and wellbeing. By addressing students' mental health and well-being in a proactive and holistic manner, these interventions can help create a more inclusive and supportive school environment where all students have the opportunity to thrive.
