Now more than ever, we will be focusing on mental health at Kingsway Primary School. We believe that mental health and wellbeing should be at the heart of the school. We have a holistic approach to mental health/wellbeing ensuring it is the ‘golden thread’ that runs throughout everything we do, We therefore aim for well-being to be evident in all areas of school life. This will be achieved  through support for children, staff and parents/carers, raised awareness of mental health and normalising discussions about mental health and wellbeing.

Kingsway Primary School follows the ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing’ (see below) as research suggests that if we follow these 5 ways, our wellbeing can be improved.
