Children's Wellbeing

At Teesville  Academy our aim is to ensure that all our pupils, parents/carers and staff are happy, healthy and safe. As a school we work hard to support everyone's emotional health and wellbeing. We know that everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable at times and may need additional emotional support.  We believe that positive mental health is everyone’s responsibility and we all have a role to play.

At Teesville Academy we:

Ensure that all our children feel valued.

Ensure our children have a sense of belonging and feel safe.

Support our children to understand their feelings and emotions.

Support our children to feel comfortable sharing any concerns or worries.

Encourage children to be confident and celebrate differences.

Support our children to build emotional resilience and give them the skills to manage setbacks.

Promote self-esteem and support children in forming and maintaining positive relationships with others.

To support Wellbeing in school we:

Meet the needs of our children through our overall ethos and curriculum.

Have a senior Mental Health Lead – Mrs McGeough

Have a ‘Safe Spaces’ around school, where children can share any worries or anxieties

Have a team of children’s Wellbeing Ambassadors as part of our work with Headstart

Access support from Inside Out Project - our mental health ambassador, Danielle,  works in school every Tuesday
