Ravenswood Community Primary School

At Ravenswood, we recognise how important mental health and emotional well-being is to our lives in just the same way as physical health. We recognise that mental health – that of our children, and of their parents and teachers – is a crucial factor in children’s well-being and can affect their learning and achievement.

For this reason, a team of staff at Ravenswood are working hard to ensure we have a whole-school approach to promoting positive mental health and well-being, through creating a nurturing, inclusive community, teaching specific skills, and providing opportunities which bring joy, build resilience and self-esteem and encourage children to work together. It is also our role to have robust systems in place to recognise and support children who may be experiencing a particularly stressful time and refer on to outside agencies if appropriate. We have some very experienced staff at Ravenswood, however we are not trained mental healthcare practitioners, therefore there will be times when we need to refer certain cases on to the appropriate professionals.

If you're concerned that your child's wellbeing or safety is being affected, please see our Early Help Offer and Safeguarding pages.
