Here at Kingskerswell C. of E. Primary School, we believe that a child’s mental health and emotional wellbeing are just as important as their physical health. We know that, supporting children to feel happy, safe, and confident is essential if they are to learn, grow, and thrive both in and out of the classroom.

We understand that children and families can face challenges in their lives, big or small, and we are here to help them navigate these in a supportive and caring environment. Our whole school approach encourages children to talk about their feelings, build positive relationships, and develop resilience and coping skills.

Through our curriculum, pastoral care, and close partnerships with families, we aim to create positive relationships and provide a nurturing space where every child’s wellbeing matters. Together, we are helping our children to build strong foundations for lifelong good mental health and emotional wellbeing.
