At Cecil Road Primary & Nursery School, we recognise that a child’s emotional health and wellbeing influences their cognitive development and learning, as well as their physical and social health and their mental wellbeing in adulthood.

We work hard to ensure that our children and their families are well and happy members of our  community.

We aim to:

• Listen
• Encourage
• Help
• Support
• Care
• Talk
• Be interested
• Be role models
• Be professional friends
• Signpost

A member of the Wellbeing Team is on duty in the playground every morning and afternoon. If there is anything you are worried about, feel free to approach any of the team.

Our Well Being Lead is Hannah Day

We are very proud of the two awards we hold for our commitment to emotional well-being:
