Mental Health & Wellbeing
Pastoral Support
Here at WCE the mental health and wellbeing of the whole school community is at the forefront of everything we do. We have a Pastoral Team who meet half termly to identify children who would benefit from further support and to discuss children who have been receiving support. This may result in additional support within school or referral to external agencies such as Futures in Mind, CYPMHS, CAMHS and Play Therapy.
Our Pastoral Team consists of:
Mrs S Dillon - Headteacher
Mrs R Noble - AHT and SENDCo
Mrs I Cunliffe - Pastoral Lead (HLTA)
Drawing and Talking Therapy
We are extremely fortunate to have a qualified Drawing and Talking Therapist in school, Mrs Cunliffe. This therapy enables individuals to set the pace and is designed to help individuals become more able to control their behaviour, increase their self esteem and thrive in the world around them.
The sessions take place once a week for a period of 12 weeks with a Strengths and Difficulties questionnaire used to determine the impact of this therapy.
Relax Kids
We have a qualified Relax Kids Coach who visits school once a week to support children we feel would benefit from support and strategies to help their mental health and wellbeing. Louisa has also delivered calming workshops to all year groups.
