Wellbeing
At Burnwood Community School, we aim to promote positive mental health for every member of our school community, students, staff and parents. We pursue this aim using both universal, whole school approaches and specialised, targeted approaches aimed at vulnerable people.
In addition to promoting positive mental health, we aim to recognise and respond to mental ill health. By developing and implementing practical, relevant and effective mental health policies and procedures we can promote a safe and stable environment for students and their families affected both directly, and indirectly by mental ill health.
