Wellbeing – Information and Support
Hello and welcome to our Health & Wellbeing page.
Here you can find important information about how we at Old Hall nurture our children in a holistic, person-centred approach.
At Old Hall we strive to motivate and inspire every child that we work with, break through the barriers of expectations and harness all opportunities to create a climate of success and achievement for all.
We are proud to place great emphasis on the importance of positive mental health. Our SEMH (Social, Emotional, Mental-Health) Lead, Mrs Carlile and our SENCO, Mr. R. Cooley, with the support of the whole class team, work together to ensure that all of our children make positive progress. They bring a wealth of innovative ideas to engage all pupils.
Accreditation News!
We are proud to announce that we are a myHappymind Silver Accredited school!
This means that as a school we consider the mental health and wellbeing of our children as one of our top priorities. We have created a whole school culture that helps build our children's resilience, confidence and self esteem as well as teaching them how to self regulate in those stressful times.
This Accreditation badge has been awarded thanks to all the effort our staff, children, governors and parents have put in to bring the lessons of myHappymind to life all around our school!
