What is mental health?

cscott349 — 2025-06-04 09:15:49 UTC

At Crofton Junior School, we have a Mental Health Support Team who are always willing to help and support your child. If you have any questions regarding your child's emotional or mental health needs, please speak to your child's teacher, and if you require further support please arrange to come and speak to us. We can help with information, strategies, resources, referrals and tools to support their mental health.

We want your child to feel happy and supported in our school and if there is anything we can do to support that, please do let us know.
