Manor Court Community Primary School, offers a happy, safe and caring environment.   We are committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of our children and staff. 

SOLE

Positive mental health and wellbeing in Manor Court Community Primary is supported through principles defined in the simple acronym SOLE.

Self-esteem – We believe that mental health should be person (Child and staff) –centred and thus our ethos starts with the individual.  

Often – We have a consistent and regular approach to talking about positive mental health and wellbeing.

Little – We believe that ‘little and often’ will encourage openness and transparency.  If children and adults are struggling with their emotional health and wellbeing, or feel mentally well and secure, they will feel confident to share their feelings.

Everyone – Emotional health is everyone’s concern and that everyone is entitled to this support whoever they are.

Our commitment to each child:

• Help you to understand your emotions and feelings better.
• Help you to feel comfortable about sharing any concerns or worries.
• Help all socially to form and maintain positive relationships.
• Enable you to deal with and resolve conflict effectively and fairly.
• Promote self-esteem and ensure you know that you count.
• Encourage all to be confident and ‘dare to be different’ if they desire.
• Help allto develop emotional resilience and manage setbacks.
• Work and play cooperatively.
• Compete fairly and win and lose with dignity and respect for others.
• Recognise and stand up for their rights and the rights of others.
• Understand and value the differences and commonalities between people, respecting the rights of others to have beliefs and values different from their own.
