Understanding Wellbeing
We are passionate about nurturing self-esteem in children to enable them to not only embrace learning and challenge within their current year groups, but to build up strategies and tools for the future.
Not only is children’s self-esteem paramount to their learning but we want children to recognise that mistakes help us learn. Skills and knowledge can be grown with the effort they put in and steps of progress praised and celebrated to encourage children’s confidence and aspirations. This is our “Growth Learning” thread which we want to embed in our Wellbeing Zone content.

Children and adults often reflect on how the world is. Finding ways to explain what we like and don’t like about the world we live in, helps us to establish individuality and aspirations.

Planning and doing something together as a family has a positive impact on everyone’s wellbeing
Learning can be a challenge, and that’s totally ok. Helping kids understand that it’s just part of the process, and part of everyone’s experience of learning, really helps them feel more comfortable with the inevitable challenges that learning can create for us.
Each child is unique, and it is a great challenge for parents to help children understand this in the modern world.
Friendships make us feel happy and secure. Helping your child with their friendships in the primary years will give them the fundamental building blocks for developing healthy and positive relationships.
Expressing and understanding emotions is probably one of the most important aspects of wellbeing. When your child is growing up emotions can be overwhelming for them at times and for us too!
Families are important for children growing up because they give love, security and stability. As parents we can feel overwhelmed by this responsibility and want to strive for perfection which is probably impossible!
Teaching your child that mistakes are a natural part life and learning, is going help them enormously. When your child is learning something new, they may feel confused and “not quite get it” straight away.
