It is widely recognised that a child’s emotional health and wellbeing influences their cognitive development and learning, as well as their physical and social health and their mental wellbeing in adulthood. The Department for Education recognises that, to help their students succeed: schools have a role to play in supporting them to be resilient and mentally healthy.
At Lyndon School, we aim to promote positive mental health for every student. We pursue this using both universal, whole school and specialised approaches for identified vulnerable students and families. An essential element of our programme is to ensure that we signpost our families to appropriate sources of further information.
The following link provides useful and practical advice for parents and carers where they suspect their child may be suffering from ‘low mood.
Should your require further advice and guidance please contact the school and ask to speak to Mrs Bloomer, Designated Safeguarding Lead.
