Mental Health and Wellbeing

MENTAL HEALTH & WELLBEING

Pupils' wellbeing is at the centre of everything we do at Aston St Mary's Primary School.

MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING

We promote positive wellbeing across all aspects of school life. There are times when we all feel the strain. As parents and carers, there are ways we can support children and young people to give them the best chance to stay mentally healthy.
