🌱 Our Vision for Wellbeing
The World Health Organisation defines mental health as:
“a state of wellbeing in which every individual realises their own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to their community.”
At Cottesbrooke Infant & Nursery School, we recognise that mental health and emotional wellbeing are vital to children’s development, learning and happiness — and just as important as physical health.
We are committed to creating a school where:
-
Everyone feels safe, valued and supported
-
Children can develop the tools to understand and manage their emotions
-
Staff wellbeing is recognised and supported
-
Families are welcomed as partners in wellbeing
We know that life brings different challenges for everyone, and anyone may need help at any time — and that’s okay. Our job is to notice, respond and work together to help each other through.
Promoting positive mental health is a whole-school responsibility, and we all play a part.
If you’re ever concerned about how your child is coping, or if you or your family need extra support, please contact the school office at
