Here at Kibworth Mead, we teach our students about the importance of looking after your mental health, acknowledging that we all have mental health. We share lots of strategies and ideas of proactive things that we can do to boost of mental health and well-being.

We are committed to supporting our students mental health and wellbeing by:

• Embedding a culture which values the happiness and emotional welfare of all its students.
• Ensuring that the promotion of good mental health and emotional wellbeing is the responsibility of all the whole school community including: staff, governors, parents and students, and external agencies beyond the school gates.
• Showing the school’s commitment to promoting wellbeing as part of day-to-day school life.
• Developing a whole school strategy for improving the wellbeing of students, including a whole school focus on building resilience which has a large impact on mental health and wellbeing.
