Mental Health and Wellbeing

At Trinity Primary Academy, we recognise the link between emotional wellbeing, progress and attainment and we strive to create a culture in which pupils, parents and staff talk openly about emotional wellbeing and mental health. Our staff are committed to identifying and responding appropriately to signs of emotional or mental distress in pupils and each other. we work together with the wider school community to implement positive ways of talking about and removing the stigma around mental health.

The Curriculum

At Trinity we promote and deliver an inclusive curriculum that provides children with opportunities to explore and develop their mental health and wellbeing. As a school, we follow the SCARF scheme of work through weekly lessons. SCARF represents our values for children of Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience and Friendship.

“Our vision is for all children to acquire the life skills needed to thrive”.

Each year, the children will complete the following topics:

Me and my relationships
Valuing difference
Keeping safe
Rights and respect
Being my best
Growing and changing

Alongside the SCARF scheme, children also take part in focus weeks to help promote positive mental health. We provide children with the opportunity to develop their own strategies to support their mental health. We help pupils to consider how they can help to make the school a caring and inclusive environment for all.
