Mental Health and Well-Being

Phoenix Primary School is a mentally healthy school.

Mental health is defined as a state of wellbeing in which every individual recognises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her own community.

Positive mental health and wellbeing is fundamental to our values, mission and culture.

We are a school that promotes mental wellness for all our Children, Parent/Carers, Staff and Governors.
