Dalestorth's Well-Being Intent:

At Dalestorth Primary and Nursery School, we are aiming towards having a mentally healthy, supportive and caring school for our children, our adults and our wider community. We are on a journey to discover how we can support all those who are part of our school community. These are the first steps to creating a long lasting, purposeful approach to supporting mental health and emotional well-being across the life of Dalestorth. We are aiming to and beginning to focus on three key areas, to support, enhance, nurture and develop the emotional well-being, mindfulness and mental health of children, staff and parents along with the wider community.

We believe that children with good mental health and well-being can:

• learn and explore the world
• feel, express and manage positive and negative emotions
• form and maintain good relationships with others
• cope with, and manage, change, setbacks and uncertainty
• develop and thrive.

When children look after their mental health and develop their coping skills it can help them to boost their resilience, self-esteem and confidence. It can also help them learn to settle themselves, feel calm, and engage positively with their education - which can, in turn, improve their academic attainment. Therefore our aim is to develop our school into a mentally healthy one not just for our children, but all those who have any role to play in the life of Dalestorth Primary and Nursery School.
