The mental health of our children, staff and parents is a priority in our school. All staff are able to speak with you about any concerns that you may have. Mrs Shields is a trained Thrive practitioner and Miss Ross is a Thrive Mental Health Lead. Thrive is a programme we use with the children in school every Friday afternoon and throughout the curriculum to support their mental health and development. 

If you are concerned about the mental health of a child in our school, please speak to their class teacher or Mrs Shields for support.

Compass Changing Lives provides prevention and early intervention emotional wellbeing and mental health support to Children, Young People and Families (CYPFs) across Derby & Derbyshire.
