Wellbeing

(MHWB) Mental Health and Wellbeing.

At Egerton Wellbeing is a school priority. 

Our Wellbeing Lead is Mrs Broadbent, Senior Leader  (Wellbeing and Senior Mental Health Lead)  (PHSE/RSE, SEND, Safeguarding, Safe and Happy)

We have a 3 step tiered approach to support this area through.

1. Quality First Social and Emotional Learning Curriculum for all- PHSE Jigsaw Curriculum (Please see 'Curriculum Tab' for further information)

2. Targeted support - Led by Mrs Broadbent and supported by our dedicated ELSA Team (Emotional Literacy Support Assistants Mrs Davies, Mrs Bagnall, Mrs Bainbridge Sales) as well our Inclusion Team Teaching Assistants, who provided targeted work and support within lessons and small group focus sessions. 

3. Wider Strategies - Led by Mrs Broadbent Wellbeing Lead. These strategies include guiding additional targeted support in school, referrals to other professionals and specialists, signposting to information and organisations that can provide parents and carers with guidance and support. 

4. Bespoke Strategies - Please liaise with Mrs Broadbent. This approach is further supported by Mrs Hooper, Headteacher and teacher assemblies, the work of our 'Safe and Happy' Ambassadors, the focus of our 'Wellbeing Action Team', information shared in our half term 'Wellbeing Newsletter'. We will always listen and respond to the needs of our children and families. 

Curriculum

At Egerton Primary School, embedded with our PHSE Curriculum is an 'SEL' Social and Emotional Literacy Curriculum'. Please see under 'Curriculum' Tab link to PHSE. Our 'Safe and Happy' Ambassadors meet twice each half term also to support keeping safe and feeling happy.
