Mental Health and Wellbeing

At Saltergate, we are committed to promoting positive mental health and emotional wellbeing to all pupils, their families and members of staff and governors.

Our school offers a learning environment that enables this for all; we pride ourselves in providing a healthy environment where the whole school community is involved in promoting positive mental health. We take a universal approach where children are encouraged to become active agents in their own learning. Parents and carers are welcomed and included, they work in partnership with our school and outside agencies. Teaching staff strive to ensure positive mental health and well-being are taught explicitly through PSHE lessons as well as implicitly through other areas of curriculum. Teaching staff are provided with the resources required to help target support at the classroom level as well as guidance to take this further through referrals to outside agencies and external support groups. All staff, both pastoral and teaching, work alongside each other to ensure children are given the skills to recognise, achieve and maintain good mental health; this cohesive and co-ordinated approach to mental health will prepare them for life beyond their primary school years.

We are here to listen, learn and lead.
