Wellbeing
At St. Peter's the mental health and wellbeing of our pupils, families and staff is of great importance to us. We offer a wide range of activities that promote self-care and opportunities to develop skills to manage their own wellbeing independently. These include:
- dedicated health and wellbeing weeks in school
- opportunities to perform in class assemblies, key stage shows and talent shows
- in Year 6 every child is given a role as a young leader to develop their independence
- an active school council who are the pupil's voice and have recently developed a 'Chill Out Zone' for playtime and lunchtime
- sporting events
- learning clubs
- a wide range of after school clubs
- weekly awards for showing the gospel values in school.
If you have any specific concerns, please contact your class teacher or the school office.
