Mental Health Support

Positive Mental Health and Wellbeing

The World Health Organisation (2013) defines Mental health as:

“a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realise their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community”.

Having a positive state of mind, where children and adults are in control of their own thoughts, feelings and behaviours will enable us all to respond to challenges in life (friendship fall outs, exam stress, changes in homelife etc).  Our vision at Somerby Primary School is to ensure we work together as a team (school and parents) to equip children with the skills and qualities to become resilient, independent life-long learners who can stand proud in society, able to improve their own lives and lives of others around them. Supporting our children to understand, develop and manage their wellbeing will support good behaviour, good attendance and good attainment which in turn will equip our children with good habits needed for life.

The following links will give parents further advice or ideas on how to help your child look after their own mental health:

Healthy Together

Healthy together & The school nursing Service

Online Safety

Internet Safety

It is really important that children remain safe and secure while using technology.

E-Safety is a major focus; not only in our pupils' computing lessons, but right across our curriculum. 

We teach our children how to use technology safely and responsibly - both within and outside of school.  Since pupils have increasing access to technology beyond school (computers, mobile phones, tablets etc.), it is vital that they are taught to use these safely.

Our three main aims of E-Safety in school are to:

  • Empower – we want to empower our children to keep themselves safe online
  • Encourage – we want to encourage our children to be responsible online
  • Engage – we want to engage with our children so they understand the risks, and also the benefits, of online communication

Please have a look through the information and links on this page to find ideas to help keep your children safe online.
