Health and Wellbeing

​

At Torre we support pupils, families and staff with their health and well-being. We dedicate time to promote a positive wellbeing within our PHSE curriculum and through all of our learning experiences. When needed, children have access to pastoral support, nurture provision and can be signposted to more intensive support.

​

We “Live life in all its fullness.” John 10:10.

 

For parents/carers, we provide family support drop-ins and have provided sessions to help with supporting children with anxiety at home. We have also held parent/carer forums with the focus of supporting their child’s mental health.

 

Furthermore, we recognise that our staff are our most important resource and are valued, supported and encouraged to develop personally and professionally within a caring, purposeful learning community. We have a policy for all staff to ensure a positive work/life balance which staff have contributed to.

​

The mental health support team in schools (MHST) works collaboratively with school staff, children, young people and their families to provide psychoeducation and low intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to children and young people, who are experiencing low to moderate; low mood, anxiety and behaviour difficulties. They run bespoke workshops on various mental health related topics for parents, carers and school staff, and provide mental health ambassador training for the children and young people in school. Additional to this, they offer consultation and time to reflect for school staff, allowing time and consideration for the mentally healthy wellbeing of all, with a view to enhance understanding and culture surrounding mental health within schools.
