Our Vision for Mental Health & Wellbeing

At The Bulmershe School, we will promote, develop, equip and prepare healthy learners for life. We are committed to making it our mission to promote resilience, positive wellbeing and mental health for all our pupils, staff and parents/carers. We understand wellbeing to be a state of being comfortable, healthy and happy. We aim to drive this message forward, via our school Mental Health Strategy, and to ensure that mental health and well-being is “everyone’s business” across the whole school community. We will strive to create an environment that has a whole school approach, in providing excellent mental health support, awareness, understanding and intervention. We will put Wellbeing at the heart of our school to ensure successful learning, and commit to our policies reflecting this practice.

To further support our vision and strategy, the school are on track to complete a Wellbeing Award for Schools in the next few months, which we have been working on for the past 10 months. This award has been devised in partnership with the National Children’s Bureau and will embed further our plans to continue and grow our mental health provision.
