Wellbeing
John 10:10
I have come in order that you might have life — life in all its fullness.
The children at St. Lawrence are taught the importance of their mental health and emotional wellbeing as part of our PSHE, RE, PE and science curriculum, but this is further embedded in the day to day ethos of St. Lawrence.
We ensure there is ‘time to talk’ each day and we foster a culture of how important it is to talk about how we are feeling.
Each class adopts its own age-appropriate strategies, from worries jars to addressing the subject through our Power of Reading approach, where we explore a character’s thoughts, feelings and emotions.
St. Lawrence also encourages open and honest communications with parents, which has been very powerful in addressing the many issues which arose as a result of the pandemic.
At St. Lawrence we are also committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of our wider St. Lawrence community, including parents, staff and governors.
We have finalised our Wellbeing policy, which you can view here.
