Pupil Well-being
At Lowe’s Wong Infant School, we want every child to feel supported, happy and confident. We know that mental health is just as important as physical health, and it plays a big part in how children learn, grow and enjoy school. Our motto, “Learning happily together,” guides everything we do.
We aim to provide a caring, welcoming environment where all children can thrive, whatever their experiences. Through our PSHE lessons (using the SCARF scheme) and regular assemblies, we teach children how to look after their mental health and talk openly about feelings.
We also understand that children can face challenges for many different reasons, and sometimes difficulties may be more noticeable at home than at school. If you ever have concerns, we are here to help.
Our Mental Health Team
