Water Hall Primary

In order for children to learn, they need to feel safe both emotionally and mentally and therefore we work to build resilience in children. We do this in a number of ways in school, including Mindspace sessions both 1-1, small group and whole class to breakfast club. School provides a free of charge and nutritious breakfast for children which is available 20 mins before school opens. Staff retain an awareness for children who may arrive late or not having had breakfast at home to ensure these children have a nutritious start to the day. Children start their day in their classes with a 'mindspace' session. During this time children learn relaxation techniques including breathing exercises and visualisation. This allows time for children to focus in on school and leave any issues that they may be carrying at home. These sessions are also run at different times of the day if they are needed.
