Mental Health and Wellbeing

Mental health and wellbeing is a huge priority for children within the UK. It is important that we, as a school and parents, understand the best ways to support our children with any mental health concerns they may have. Furthermore, healthy choices are equally important with regards to food and physical exercise.

Should you have any concerns at all regarding the mental health and wellbeing of your child or any other children please do not hesitate to contact us here at Pennine Way. Your mental health and wellbeing support team are as follows:
