As a school, we encourage the '10 a day approach' to health and wellbeing. This involves considering 10 ways in which we can help to balance our physical and mental health. This approach is complemented and reinforced through the delivery of our PSHE curriculum, which regularly addresses a range of ways to promote and maintain a positive mind and body.

For those children whose needs may not be being met through whole class activities, we have a range of in-house, small group wellbeing interventions delivered by various members of our team, including Circus Skills, Talk About, Theory of Mind, Lego Therapy, sewing and Wellbeing Dominoes, to name but a few.

In addition to this, the school is part of the Mental Health Support Teams Project and has access to an onsite Mental Health Practitioner, one day a week. If you feel that your child may benefit from this type of support, please contact Mrs McDonald to discuss a referral by emailing gmcdonald@alkrington.rochdale.sch.uk .
