Mental Health and Wellbeing

At Middlestown Primary Academy, we aim to promote positive mental health and wellbeing for our whole school community (children, staff and parents) and recognise how important mental health and emotional wellbeing is to our lives in just the same way as physical health.

We have a wellbeing board in school which pupils can refer to for guidance and we hold a ‘Wednesday Club’ where children can  discuss any worries and anxieties they have. Alongside this, each classroom has a ‘worry box’ into which pupils can post their concerns and subsequently discuss them with an adult.

We also promote a healthy lifestyle and a healthy diet through our school dinners, healthy lunch box policy, daily miles and active PE sessions.

#HelloYellow Day

On Friday 9th October it was World Mental Health Day and Middlestown Primary Academy took part in the #HelloYellow day to raise awareness for Mental Health. Here are some photos of some of the children from the day.
