Wellbeing at Our School
At our school, wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to creating a happy, safe and nurturing environment where every child and member of staff feels valued, supported and listened to.
Our dedicated Wellbeing Ambassadors play an important role throughout the school, promoting positive wellbeing and recognising acts of kindness, care and support. They celebrate our Wellbeing Wonders, children or staff who have been spotted making a positive difference to the wellbeing of others.
We also recognise and celebrate wellbeing beyond the school gates, encouraging our whole school community to share examples of kindness and care shown at home and in the wider community.
Our Peace Place provides a calm, supportive space where children can take time to reflect, manage their emotions and receive help to re-regulate when needed. Through these initiatives, we aim to ensure that wellbeing is not just something we talk about, but something we actively practise, celebrate and embed in everyday school life.
At school we have many ways in which we aim to support children’s wellbeing. Each class has a weekly wellbeing lesson using My Happy Mind. This is a proactive approach to support children’s mental wellbeing.
We are fortunate to have ELSA-trained staff (Emotional Literacy Support Assistants) who provide targeted emotional support, helping children understand and manage their feelings, develop positive coping strategies and build resilience. Our Family Support Worker works in partnership with families, offering guidance, practical support and advice to help overcome challenges and promote positive outcomes for children both at home and at school. Through these initiatives, we aim to ensure that wellbeing is not just something we talk about, but something we actively practise, nurture and celebrate every day, across our school and wider community. You can find Ms R Todd’s contact details on our Team page.
Pippin, our much-loved school therapy dog, plays a special role in supporting wellbeing across our school. Pippin brings comfort, companionship and a sense of calm to children and adults alike. Spending time with Pippin can help children feel more relaxed, build confidence and develop positive relationships, while providing a gentle opportunity to talk about feelings and emotions. Whether offering a reassuring presence during a difficult moment or bringing smiles and joy to the school day, Pippin helps us create a warm, nurturing environment where everyone feels safe, valued and supported. Pippin is a very special member of our school community and an important part of our commitment to promoting positive mental health and wellbeing.
Useful Website Links
There are a number of websites which are available to support parents/carers with their child’s wellbeing. You will find links to some of these below.
At Farington Moss St. Paul’s Church of England Primary School, we believe that learning extends far beyond the classroom. Our enrichment offer provides pupils with a wide range of exciting opportunities and experiences that enhance our curriculum, develop new skills and nurture individual interests and talents.
From educational visits and visitors to school, to clubs, leadership roles, sporting activities, creative projects and community involvement, we aim to inspire curiosity, build confidence and create memorable learning experiences for every child.
This working document outlines the opportunities available to our pupils and will continue to develop as we seek new ways to enrich learning, broaden horizons and ensure every child has the opportunity to flourish.
The work that teachers give pupils to do is interesting, engaging and exciting. It makes pupils think for themselves, reason things out and become good learners.
