Wellbeing

Wellbeing at Park View

At Park View, we are fully committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of our pupils and staff. Wellbeing is a state of being comfortable, healthy and happy. We want everyone to feel valued and supported. We feel it is vital children understand their own mental health and how to look after it. Everyone needs some help from time to time and we hope to equip the children with strategies and with the confidence to ask for support when they need.

At Park View we promote wellbeing through our school values and want to ensure everyone feels a sense of belonging. We promote the 5 ways to Wellbeing through all our curriculum and encourage the children and their families to carry out the ‘5 ways’ every day at home and school.

We support the ‘Back to Basics’ campaign promoted through the Mental Health Schools team. We have created our own school stickers which celebrate each of the 5 ways so that children can share their commitment to wellbeing. This encourages important conversations at school and at home.
