Mental Health at Lealholm

At Lealhom Primary School, we place the utmost importance on mental health. We recognise that without good mental health, children will not be able to reach for the stars. We are committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of pupils, parents, carers, staff and other stakeholders.

Our named Senior Mental Health Lead is Mr Russell.

My Happymind

As part of our PSHE curriculum, we follow the NHS backed My Happymind programme

This highly visual and child friendly approach is grounded in psychology and neuroscience. It develops children's understanding of mental health, how the brain works and how they can nurture their own mental health and wellbeing. Children record their learning in their journals and try to put the ideas they are taught into practice through the week.
