Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing

Promoting Positive Mental Health

At Harper Green School, we aim to promote positive emotional health and wellbeing for our whole school community. We recognise the importance of nurturing healthy minds. The mental health of a student is a crucial factor in their overall wellbeing and can affect their learning, social and emotional achievement. 

Our role as a school is to:

  • To develop an ethos and environment that supports learning and promotes the health and wellbeing of all
  • To promote resilience in students
  • To ensure students feel safe and supported
  • To develop a sense of belonging, encouraging participation of all within the school community
  • To build pupil relationships and trust - encouraging students to talk openly with adults about their problem
  • To offer mental health support during periods of isolation

Mental Health Student Pathway

As a school, we offer different levels of mental health support. 

  • Wave 1 - Universal Support: To meet the needs of all our students through our overall ethos and our wider curriculum. For instance, developing emotional resilience for all.
  • Wave 2 - Short term additional support: For those who may have short-term needs and those who may have been made vulnerable by life experiences such as bereavement.
  • Wave 3 - Long term targeted support: For students who need more individualised support and resources or specific targeted interventions to support their mental health.

Getting help

As a school, we believe no one should have to face mental health difficulties on their own, and support is widely available beyond school.

Here you can find a list of organisations providing expert advice, a listening ear and resources for managing distress.
