MENTALLY HEALTHY SCHOOL
The Aspire Academy Trust is committed to supporting positive mental health and the Aspire Mental Health Policy is available below.
The ‘Leading a Mentally Healthy School’ training programme has been developed by Health Education England (HEE) and the School Development Support Agency (SDSA), in partnership with an expert group of educational psychologists, education consultants and mental health organisations and responds to the areas highlighted in the Green Paper – ‘Transforming Children & Young People’s Mental Health Provision’ (December 2017).
Trauma Informed School / Pupil Behaviour and Welfare
Â
We want all the children in our community to flourish, so we have introduced The Trauma Informed School Approach in order to support their emotional and social development. Â Our aim is to help your children feel happy and secure, able to enjoy friendships, relate well to others and be ready and able to learn.
Â
We have several TIS trained members of staff in school including Mrs Hooper and Mrs O'Mahoney.Â
Â
We also participate in wider programmes with charities such as the NSPCC to support pupils with their relationships education.Â
Â
In addition to the above, we have two Senior Mental Health leads in school - Mrs Ford and Mrs O'Mahoney.
