Our Aims
At Linton Infants, we are committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of our pupils and staff. We have a supportive and caring ethos and our approach is respectful and kind, where each individual and contribution is valued. At our school we know that everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable, and at times anyone may need additional emotional support. We take the view that positive mental health is everybody’s business and that we all have a role to play in supporting each other.
Read more about how we support mental health and wellbeing across all areas of our school.
Please refer to our Mental Health policy for more information.
The year 2020, while a challenging time for us all, proved just how much our community values mental health and wellbeing. Together with the parents and children, we created our 5 Cs of Wellbeing - ideas for proactively taking care of our mental health. Despite being several years on now, we recognise the importance of taking time for self-care and hope these ideas can still inspire us all!
