At Avondale Preparatory School, we take the emotional health and wellbeing of our Pupils and Staff seriously. We strive to ensure that all of our Community have the opportunity to fulfil their full potential and are enabled to enjoy a happy, caring, secure environment. As a Staff, we are committed to supporting our pupils’ physical and mental health needs, throughout their journey with us.
We are all incredibly proud that we know each of our pupils as individuals. As a staff we have regular on-line training, covering a host of health and safety issues.
Mental health is pivotal to our happy and inclusive Community and from the very start of each Individual’s journey, they are encouraged to consider their own well-being, build their resilience, self-belief and confidence, in all areas of the setting.
Life can throw us a ‘curve ball’ at any time and there can be many ‘ups and downs’ along the way. There are times when a child is unhappy or struggling emotionally and this can be for many reasons. These may include bereavement, separation anxiety, age-related difficulties, low self-esteem, friendship issues, to name but a few.
