Wellbeing

At Harnham Junior School, we are committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of pupils and staff. 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.

At Harnham Junior School we:

  • Help children to understand their emotions and feelings better

  • Help children feel comfortable sharing any concerns or worries

  • Help children socially to form and maintain friendships

  • Promote self-esteem and ensure children know that they count

  • Encourage children to be confident and 'dare to be different

  • Help children to develop emotional resilience and to manage setbacks
