We are pleased to announce our recent appointment as part of the Mental Health in Schools Team (MHST). In this role, Bolton Educational Psychology Service (EPS) will be working collaboratively with Bolton MHST to support the development of a Whole School / College Approach (WSCA) to mental health and wellbeing across a range of educational settings.

Through this partnership, EPS will utilise the Emotionally Friendly Settings (EFS) framework to help schools and colleges identify their existing strengths, highlight areas for development, and access targeted training opportunities. This approach aims to build capacity within settings, ensuring that mental health and emotional wellbeing are embedded into everyday practice and supported at all levels of the school community.

We look forward to working closely with staff, pupils, and families to promote positive mental health and create supportive, inclusive learning environments.

Promoting values, tolerance and diversity through the curriculum and enrichment is vital to pupils’ personal development, as it fosters a sense of fellowship, encourages friendship built on mutual respect, and nurtures hope for a positive and inclusive future. Through meaningful, real-life opportunities, children build confidence, develop character, form positive relationships and show respect for difference, while deepening their understanding of equality, inclusion and their role within a diverse school community and wider society.
