At St. Bernadette’s RC Primary School we believe that good social, emotional and Mental Wellbeing is vital to create the foundations for healthy behaviours and educational attainment.

This is embedded in all aspects of our wide, varied and inclusive curriculum. We use a whole school approach to review and plan our practice and work closely with families, outside agencies and the children themselves to promote effective emotional health and mental wellbeing awareness, guidance, support and or intervention.

Key People to support in school:

Mrs H Birkett-Rothwell (SENDCo)

Mrs C Holt (Pastoral leader)

Mr D Proctor (Headteacher)

Mrs A Greenwood (Well-being Governor)

If you have any concerns that you would like to discuss with school, then please do not hesitate to contact any of the key people in school via the school office.
