At Broadhempston Primary School, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. A happy, confident child is a child who can thrive—both in the classroom and beyond. We work hard to create a safe, caring, and supportive environment where every child feels valued, listened to, and understood.
Our staff are committed to promoting positive mental health and wellbeing across the school. This means:
-
Building strong relationships so children know they can talk to a trusted adult.
-
Encouraging kindness, empathy, and respect in all we do.
-
Providing time and space for children to share how they are feeling.
-
Helping pupils develop resilience and strategies to cope with challenges.
We also know that supporting mental health is a team effort. That’s why we work closely with parents, carers, and outside agencies to ensure children get the right help when they need it.
If you would like advice, guidance, or further support, here are some helpful resources:

At Broadhempston, we want every child to feel safe, supported, and ready to take on the world - not just today, but for the rest of their lives. Together, we can make sure mental health is always a priority.
