Well-being
We know that just like everyone can have physical health, we all have mental health too.
- We are a storm break school
- We are a Values based school where relationships and respect are paramount
- We all have a Network Hand of people who we can talk to
- Our adults and children all use a well-being scale to support them
- We learn how to use 'mindfulness' to calm down
- We are an ELSA school
We have an overarching well-being policy that outlines how Flitwick Lower supports children's mental health
