The Mental Health Curriculum at Elson looks to build an ethos and culture which promotes good mental health and wellbeing in children, staff, parents and our wider community. Children will understand how to keep themselves mentally healthy and learn strategies to support them if they are struggling. They will understand the life-long importance of caring for their mental health. Children will develop their empathy skills to enable them to regulate themselves and react appropriately to others.

We will co-work with families to have shared values and responsibilities.

Elson will be an inclusive environment that celebrates the individual whilst promoting a feeling of community and belonging.

Our Mental Health Lead is Mrs Hull –
