At Deer Park, we believe that all children's emotional and mental well-being should be looked after and nurtured. We teach children from the moment they enter our school, that they are in control of how they choose to react to situations. We support them in making better choices and be more in the moment, in the here and now. We help our children to be more in tune with and to appreciate themselves, the world around them and their lives. We believe in helping children to “take a break” from their wandering mind, to focus their attention on the activity at hand and to just “be.”

peer listeners
At Deer Park school, we have a group
of Peer Listeners who are available 3 lunchtimes a week for children to go and talk to about any worries they have. Follow this link to our Peer Listener page to find out more. |
Time to TalkIn KS2, the children have Time to Talk cards in their classroom. If they feel they have an issue they would like to talk about, they can fill out a card with their name on and who they would like to talk to and we will provide them with a safe space to go to.

In school we have a Mental Health and Wellbeing policy and a Statement of Intent, outlining our aims and procedures.
