Mental Health and Wellbeing Commitment Statement

At Beechwood Primary School we are committed to nurturing a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where the mental health and wellbeing of all members of our school community—children, staff, and families—is valued, promoted, and protected.

Our Commitment to Children

We believe that emotional wellbeing is the foundation for learning and growth. We are dedicated to helping every child:

• Feel safe, valued, and heard
• Build strong, healthy relationships with peers and adults
• Develop the skills to understand and manage their emotions
• Know where and how to seek help when they need it
• Be supported through challenges with compassion and care

 Our Commitment to Staff

We recognise that staff wellbeing is essential for a thriving and positive school community. We are committed to:

• Creating a culture of mutual respect, openness, and trust
• Supporting a healthy work-life balance
• Promoting access to mental health support and resources
• Providing ongoing professional development related to wellbeing
• Listening to staff voices and valuing their input

 Working Together

We will:

• Prioritise mental health in our school policies, practices, and daily life
• Work in partnership with families, external agencies, and the wider community
• Regularly review and reflect on our wellbeing strategy to ensure it meets the needs of all

At Beechwood Primary School, mental health and wellbeing are everyone’s responsibility, and we are united in our mission to create a kind, resilient, and emotionally literate school community.
