Wellbeing
Welcome
Wellbeing is at the heart of what we do at Ludlow Primary School. We aim to promote positive mental health and wellbeing for our whole school community. We recognise how important mental health and emotional wellbeing is to our lives in just the same way as physical health is. We recognise that children’s mental health is an important factor in their overall wellbeing and can affect their learning and achievement.
Our school is a place for everyone to experience a nurturing and supportive environment that supports the development of self-esteem and enables children to overcome adversity and build resilience. We offer positive role models and relationships, which are critical in promoting children’s wellbeing and can help create a sense of belonging and community.
Our role in school is to ensure that children can manage times of change and stress, and that they are supported to access help when they need it. We also strive to ensure that children learn about what they can do to maintain positive mental health and where they can go if they need help and support.

Mental Health and Wellbeing
“It’s OK not to be OK”
At Ludlow Primary School, we are committed to supporting the emotional health and well-being of our pupils and staff. We know that everyone experiences life challenges and times of stress that can make us vulnerable and at times, anyone may need additional emotional support. We aim to work as whole community to promote positive mental health.
“It’s good to talk”
At Ludlow Primary School, we encourage emotional literacy, modelled in weekly JIGSAW PSHE lessons and developed throughout all school life. Children have opportunities to explore their emotions and find trusted people to talk to. Sometimes we need more support, reassurance or someone different to talk to. The links below offer some suggestions.
