This workshop will look at what Crowcombe & Stogumber Primary Schools consider to be “wellbeing”, how to achieve good mental health for children, but also how this can be done through both meaningful relationships in school and key changes to curriculum, culture and ethos. Children who are happy and driven are less likely to suffer poor mental health. Julie Norman will look at ideas to help nurture pupils’ purpose in school, including things such as self-care, belonging, lifestyle, relationships with the school community and the curriculum.

Nurturing a child’s wellbeing, mental health and healthy relationships comes from small but vital behaviours in school and Julie will offer lots of ideas, including what they did at her schools and the crucial role of curriculum, ethos and culture.
