Mental Health

"Mental health does not indicate a state of perfection or saintliness. It is essentially about ordinary living - about physical and emotional wellbeing, the capacity to live a full and creative life and the flexibility to deal with its ups and downs. It is moreover, like physical health, not static; it ebbs and flows, functioning well and not so well and carrying, at any given time, its own difficulties or sticking points."

Peter Wilson, 2002

Our whole school strategy is to:

• Raise the profile of mental health and well being of the whole school community and ensure it is embedded in school’s culture
• Increase understanding of children’s mental health- teaching staff, support staff, parents
• To support parents with the mental health and well being of their children

We are a Surrey Healthy School

We have a Waverley Mental Health Support Team (MHST) working with our staff and parents to support our children's mental health. To meet the team and for more information, please follow the link below.
