WELLBEING

Our children’s emotional wellbeing is extremely important to us.

Our aim is to empower our children with the tools they need to cope with a range of feelings. We want Parklands children to be successful, resilient learners, but it is equally important to us is that they are healthy and content children, both mentally and physically, and can approach any challenge with positivity.

Wellbeing is interwoven into all parts of school life. We study wellbeing through our RPSHE curriculum, as well as during mental health awareness weeks and assemblies. When we talk about Wellbeing with the children, we explore what the key components are to maintaining positive wellbeing, through the following:

Keeping healthy – Both physically and mentally
Connecting with others – Learning about and demonstrating healthy relationships
Kindness – Showing kindness to others, within school and the wider curriculum
Recognising our emotions – Using zones of regulation to recognise our emotions and using this to express our feelings in a safe and healthy way.

In addition to our Wellbeing sessions, the children will also attend Wellbeing and relationship assemblies. Mrs Govan, our family support worker, also provides wellbeing support for our parents. She has offered several courses for parents to support them, including a healthy cooking course.

Our aim is that, because of our wellbeing curriculum, our children are becoming resilient, well-rounded individuals who can recognise their emotions and have a toolkit to enable them to work through these emotions. We aspire for them to increasingly have a deeper understanding of what wellbeing is and how to keep healthy, both physically and mentally.
