The wellbeing of children and staff is fundamental to all our work at Heatherside.  We actively promote the 'Five Ways to Wellbeing' through a whole range of ways and work hard to support all aspects of children's development.  

Some ways in which we are promoting wellbeing...

• Through regular in school activities, within and beyond our PSHE and PE curriculum.
• Actively helping children to be aware of the 'Five Ways' through homework and in school challenges and opportunities (See all the ideas below!)
• Through our Wellbeing Ambassadors who work as a team to support each other and plan ways to help promote wellbeing across the school.
• By encouraging a positive 'Growth Mindset'
• As part our our assemblies, school charter and values.
• In our Forest School
• Taking part in community and charity events. 
• In school support from our ELSA and other staff.
• Signposting to other agencies and working in partnership.
• Wellbeing activities and challenges.
