Mental Health & Wellbeing
At Boundary Primary School, we care about your child/children beyond their academic abilities within the classroom and value each child as an individual whilst appreciating the ups and downs of life they each face. The emotional health and well-being of your child is of up-most importance to us, as we want all children that come to our school to be happy and content and to achieve their full potential in life.
We have a highly experienced and trained pastoral team who are able to offer a variety of different interventions and support for both you and your children.
We offer different levels of support:
Universal - To meet the needs of ALL our pupils through our overall ethos and our wider curriculum. For example Growth Mindset
Additional - For pupils who may have short-term needs and those who have been made vulnerable by life experiences such as bereavement
Targeted - For pupils who require long-term support and ongoing mentoring
The Local Authority and the local NHS Trust have jointly funded a ‘Health, Social Care, Childcare and Community Directory for the Fylde Coast. www.fyidirectory.co.uk
