Mental Health and Wellbeing

Mrs Durant Good is the school's Senior Mental Health Lead. However, all the school team are trained in a variety of areas.

Have a look at the PPT below, from one of our pupil's recent home learning studies, which she shared as part of her class assembly. It is focused on mental health and points to the 5 Ways of Wellbeing that children learn about and are encouraged to make use of in their daily lives. Well done Beatrice (Y5).

See also the letter to all our families about the new Lumi Nova App, available for FREE via Lincolnshire County Council.

What is Lumi Nova? Lumi Nova is an adventure game app to support young people to fight fears and manage worries. Whilst exploring planets, customising characters and earning treasure, your child breaks their fears and worries down into manageable steps, learning life-long skills and building resilience. It is designed to be used at home with the support of families. Watch the short animated video here to learn more about the app.

You can take a look for yourself and gain access for your child using the link below.
