Wellbeing & Mental Health
At Ronald Ross Primary School we focus on the whole child by putting wellbeing, resilience and mental health at the centre of our work with our pupils, staff and community. We aim for children to engage and participate all aspects of school life, allow them thrive within the school environment and develop empathy and understanding of our local community. We also recognise the link between wellbeing and academic progress and endeavour for every child to meet their full potential.
Here are some examples of how we promote wellbeing and mental health across Ronald Ross Primary School:
