At Morehall Primary we take our responsibility to nurture the mental health and well-being of our children very seriously. We have a trained Play Therapist as part of our staff team, who runs 1:1 and group sessions with children identified as needing that bit of extra support. As part of our PSHE curriculum we teach children how to take care of their mental health and well-being and how to identify when they may need to ask for help.
