The whole school approach for mental health and wellbeing links in with Keyingham Primary Schools Development Plan. Mental health and wellbeing are integrated into our policies, procedures and approaches throughout.

We have a positive ethos and environment throughout Keyingham Primary School. We show our school values, celebrate all achievements and ensure everyone uses a healthy language around wellbeing and mental health.

Keyingham Primary School have a wellbeing action group who meet on a regular basis. They review the whole school approach and make sure it is up to date.

Students, staff, parents/carers have the opportunity to share their voice, feedback is always welcome. We share wellbeing guidance on school noticeboards and make sure we have easy and accessible ways of obtaining help.

Keyingham Primary School are also signed up to the Humber Teaching NHS, Mental Health Support team. The team can support students as a class or on an individual basis, deliver assemblies and they can also work with staff and parents. Our Educational Mental Health Practitioner in Training is Oliver Alderson. She is on site every Monday. The information leaflet about the team is attached below.

Keyingham Primary School can identify a risk, put in place interventions and measure wellbeing in all children through using the Boxall Profiling Programme. Staff are aware of poor wellbeing behaviours and know interventions are needed. We have a trained ELSA who is also qualified in Drawing and Talking and Build to Express. A few members of staff are Youth Mental Health First Aid Trained. Marlow and Sherlock, our wellbeing Labradors, are also part of our Keyingham Primary School offer. On top of our school interventions, we work very closely with external agencies.
