Pupil Wellbeing

Supporting mental Health and Wellbeing at Chattenden Primary

Our vision is to build a School community where children, parents and staff feel safe, secure and welcome, and to provide opportunities for everyone to develop their confidence and self esteem, communication skills, understanding and empathy for others in an ethos of compassion and caring.

Anyone at any time may experience life challenges that require additional support, and we believe that we all have a role to play in looking after our own, and others mental health and wellbeing

We are fortunate to have a mental health first aider here at Chattenden Primary School - Mrs Carpenter

The council provides a range of activities and services that support positive mental health. Take a look at: medway.gov.uk/childmentalhealth
