Our Graduated Response to Social, Emotional, Mental Health and Wellbeing (SEMH)
Here at Tankersley St Peters, Children’s mental health and wellbeing is so important, more so now than ever given the challenging times that we all find ourselves. We use the following health minds posters in our classroom and talk to the children about the emotions that they may be feeling. For example, we might say; “It is ok to be angry, but what we need to do now is get you back to your just right brain.” We have calming down techniques, which we teach in school to support this.
