Emotionally Friendly Settings (EFS) Status

We are proud to have achieved the Emotionally Friendly Settings Bronze Award status.

As an EFS school, we take a whole-school approach to supporting children’s mental health and wellbeing, ensuring that emotional needs are recognised and responded to so that all pupils can succeed and thrive.

By adopting a whole school approach, we can ensure that wellbeing is central to everything that we do.

Our aim is for every child to be happy, healthy and equipped to manage life’s challenges. We promote resilience, confidence, positive self-esteem and effective coping strategies. All pupils access a strong PSHE curriculum and high-quality RSE.

Staff also develop their understanding of emotions, self-regulation, positive relationships and healthy lifestyles so they can model and support good wellbeing and therefore have the best impact upon the pupils we support. We are fortunate to offer additional emotional support through Place2Be.

We work closely with external professionals—including Educational Psychologists, CAMHS, the School Nurse, Speech and Language Therapists, Early Help Practitioners, Paediatricians, the Primary Inclusion Team, and Salford’s Learning Support Service—to ensure each child receives well-rounded support.

Currently, our Mental Health Leads are Mrs Doyle and Miss Coffey and at least nine members of staff are trained Mental Health Champions. Our goal is for all staff to complete full training. Please see link for further information.
