Mental Health and Wellbeing

At Hernhill CE Primary School, we aim to promote positive mental health and wellbeing for our whole school community (children, staff, parents and carers), and recognise how important mental health and emotional wellbeing is to our lives in just the same way as physical health. We are committed to raising awareness, increasing understanding and ensuring that schools can and do make a difference by providing a place where all children, staff and families feel safe, secure and able to achieve and experience success and well-being.
