Mental Health & Wellbeing
At Ingleton C of E Primary School, we are committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of our pupils and staff. We know that everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable and at times, anyone may need additional emotional support. We take the view that positive mental health is everybody’s business and that we all have a role to play.
In school we already use the Jigsaw PSHE programme which focuses on the mindfulness philosophy.
