Mental Health and Wellbeing
The wellbeing team at Aylesham support pupil emotional health and well-being. We offer a triaged approach to well-being support in school, meaning each individual situation is reviewed by the team and the most appropriate support is then arranged. This may be an 'in the moment’ intervention, supporting staff to support pupils in their class, or something more structured. We are continually reviewing and improving on the support we have available in order to achieve a mentally healthy school.
Please contact us on wellbeing@aylesham.kent.sch.uk if you have any questions or concerns.
Here are some stories/songs that you can watch at home. They cover a range of emotions to support well-being.
Place2Be believe that art is a creative tool to develop resilience and connect with others. Their Art Room team are specialists in using art to support and enhance children and young people’s wellbeing.
The creative projects can help adults and children to nurture their relationship whilst having fun making art together. Each project offers space to explore an engaging theme through stories, art and conversation. The activities provided can be adapted to a range of settings with children of different abilities and ages.
The aim of these projects is to encourage children to create something they want to make. We hope their creativity can be celebrated and social and emotional wellbeing strengthened through this process.
