Wellbeing
At Beaufort Primary School, we place a strong emphasis on supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of all pupils. We believe that children learn best when they feel safe, supported and valued, and we are committed to creating an environment where everyone can thrive and be BRAVE. Amazing things happen when you are BRAVE.
Wellbeing is taught explicitly through our PSHE curriculum, where pupils develop the knowledge and skills needed to understand their emotions, build resilience and form positive relationships. This learning is reinforced through regular assemblies that promote key themes such as kindness, self-worth and managing challenges.
We also prioritise daily mindfulness, giving children time to pause, reflect and develop strategies to support their mental health and focus. In addition, pupils benefit from targeted support through Compass Workshops and NHS-led sessions, which provide expert guidance on a range of wellbeing and mental health topics.
