Mental Health and Wellbeing

'It's ok not to be ok!'

At Parkend Primary School, we are committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of our pupils and staff. We know that everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable and at times, anyone may need additional emotional support. We take the view that positive mental health is everybody’s business and that we all have a role to play.

As a Trailblazer (Young Minds Matter) school we are able to support and offer further advice, as well as make referrals to professionals when needed.
