Happy Children Learn

Looking after our mental wellbeing is vital for children and adults alike and is central to our values at Trinity School. 

In our weekly PSHE Jigsaw sessions we teach children a range of ‘calm me’ strategies with the intention of providing them with a tool kit for when they need it.  These strategies can be accessed and practiced at home by clicking on the buttons further down the page.

For groups and individuals that may require some additional wellbeing support, programmes and bespoke support are available depending upon need such as ELSA, Hamish and Milo, Wellbeing check ins, Drawing and Talking as well as referrals to support services that can help children and families.

Zones of Regulation

At Trinity we use the Zones of Regulation concepts across the school from nursery to year 6 which is a self-regulation programme that teaches children to recognise how they are feeling and identify strategies in which they could use to self-regulate.  Please see the Zones of Regulation page on the school website for further information.

Decider Skills

Throughout weekly assemblies, Mrs Sleath teaches Key Stage 1 and 2 selected Decider Skills which are strategies that they can use to support their own wellbeing. During the summer term, year 6 are taught more intensive lessons learning the Decider Skills.

Mental Health

At Trinity Primary School, Ms Hamon is the Mental Health Lead who, along with the Inclusion Team, oversees the Mental Health and Wellbeing support for the school.  At Trinity we are excited to be launching a new programme to supplement our PSHE and wellbeing offer in the spring term called ‘MyHappyMind’, which is a programme ‘for teachers, parents and children to ‘help prepare today’s children for tomorrow’s world by building resilient, balanced and happy minds at home, nursery and school.’
