At Lightwater Village School, we aim to promote positive mental health and wellbeing for every member of our school community. The whole school community’s emotional wellbeing and mental health are at the heart of the culture and ethos of our school. We pursue this aim using both whole school approaches and targeted approaches aimed at vulnerable children.

Wellbeing is at the heart of our schools vision of ‘Achieving Excellence Together’. Our Wellbeing Curriculum seeks to equip our children with the skills they need to be healthy, happy and safe. It incorporates the programme of study from the PSHE Association (which includes objectives meeting Relationship and Sex Education); The Thrive Approach, E-Safety, Anti-Bullying and Mindfulness strategies to support children’s emotional wellbeing and mental health. Our aim is for wellbeing to underpin all aspects of our curriculum so that our children can be the best they can be.
