COMING SOON – MENTAL HEALTH WORKSHOPS FOR PARENTS AND CARERS (see the newsletter for further information)
Mental Health
We at Ashleigh have a philosophy of ensuring that all pupils and staff recognise the importance and experience the benefits of, a thoughtfully established ‘secure base’, where all are able to flourish and reach their maximum potential or ‘self-actualize’.
We are always aware of our role in the promotion of positive mental health supported by provisions such as our whole school PATHS programme, Thrive, ELSA, Nurture, Farm and Forest School.
There may be time in any child’s life that a little extra support is necessary. Please find below links that will provide further information or support. Please talk to The Inclusion Manger for further advice or information.
