Abbey School Improvement Plan 2020-21
that all staff, visitors and children can refer to
Embed and develop the work that we have done on Wellbeing and Mental Health across the school by integrating the school’s HRSE programme supplemented by Jigsaw’s commercial scheme. Partially carried forward from summer 2020 (closed due to pandemic) where the first stage of integration, following parental consultation, would have taken place.
Refine the well-being assemblies programme and update the themes - managing emotions, relationships, kindness, anti-bullying, looking after our physical and mental health. Staff have an easy to follow programme of work and a bank of resources to use. They have guidance to follow and feel confident to tackle issues such as managing emotions and talking about mental health.
Well-being of children and mental health is good. Children have strategies and life skills that they can draw on to cope with life in and outside of school and beyond. Relationships between children are dealt with in an effective way – squabbles are easily managed. Yoga. Mindfulness and breathing techniques are used by children to help calm emotions or steady nerves. Children develop important life skills about looking after your mental and physical health. Staff around the school talk about looking after your physical and mental health, using a ‘shared approach and language’. Children, ‘TELL’ staff if they are worried about mental health, bullying, managing emotion. They feel confident to share with trusted people or adults around the school; including pupil groups; PCSOs, Friendship Buddies, Sandwell Safeguarding Champions. The incidents of children who are not able to deal with feelings and arguments decreases.
