We are delighted to be working in partnership with MIND in West Essex to help support our children’s mental health and wellbeing.

In addition, Mrs Debi Hunter (Educational Mental Health Practitioner) visits the school on a Wednesday and can be a friendly ear, supporting parents on a 1:1 basis, helping them with children who have anxiety or challenging behaviours. Please speak to Ms Amanda Hawkes if you would like to book a time to speak to Debi.

We are also members of MINDs Wellbeing Book Club initiative and promote books for parents to read with their children, to help support emotional wellbeing. These are available to borrow.  Please feel free to drop-in and speak to Ms Hawkes in the Community Space about it.

The school also hosts after school ‘Time To Talk’ events for parents and children to enjoy together, a wide range of wellbeing activities but also to meet Debi and find out more about the range of services MIND has to offer.
