This includes direct teaching of PHSE. Each session includes a specific focus on a social and emotional target as well as time for children to connect with us, be mindful, undertake relaxation and have focussed calm time. 2. **Targeted support** - supported by our dedicated ELSA Team (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant Mrs Bainbridge Sales) as well our Inclusion Team Teaching Assistants, who provide targeted work and support within lessons and small group focus sessions. 3. **Wider Strategies** - 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 Taylor Wattam. This approach is further supported by information shared in our 'Wellbeing Newsletter'. We will always listen and respond to the needs of our children and families. 5. **I-thrive Directory** - Mental Health and Wellbeing is also supported through i-Thrive Mental Health and Wellbeing Director.
