Wellbeing and Mental Health at Our School
At Maple Ridge, we are committed to supporting good mental health and wellbeing for all our community. It is known that children and young people with special educational needs can be at higher risk of mental health difficulties and, as a school, we know it is not always easy to identify mental health difficulties in children with SEN. Therefore, an important part of our curriculum is providing opportunities for our children to develop the skills to understand and express their emotions, learning strategies to cope with the ups and downs of everyday life.
All staff, including Governors, are committed to supporting the good mental health of our community.
Here are some of our daily routines and interventions to support good mental health at Maple Ridge:
Wellbeing Award for Schools
We are proud to have achieved a Wellbeing Award for Schools. This award focuses on changing the long-term culture of the whole school. Using an evidence-based framework to drive change, it helps the school deliver staff and pupil wellbeing, reviews staff training, and revises school policies. This award will ensure that mental health and wellbeing sit at the heart of school life.
