Emotional Health and Wellbeing

The Governors and Staff of Beal Vale Primary School believe that we provide the vital transition from home to the outside world, and another step in the learning process which begins the moment a child is born.

Our school motto is: Learning is for Life, Enjoy the Journey!

We hope to lay the foundation for academic learning, fostering a love of knowledge and a desire to achieve. We seek to provide a setting that gives all children the best possible learning opportunities, matched to their individual needs, within a happy and safe environment. We are committed to providing equal opportunities for all. We recognise and value diversity within our school, community and the wider world. Whilst academic achievement is important, we recognise our role in developing the “whole child”. Therefore we aim to promote not just intellectual growth but his/her physical, social, moral, spiritual, emotional, creative and aesthetic development, as well as raising self-esteem, encouraging a sense of responsibility, initiative, and self-discipline. As a School we continually strive to improve and aim to prepare our pupils to make a positive and responsible contribution to life in our ever-changing and increasingly technological world. We aim to develop a strong partnership with parents and encourage all our pupils to develop as citizens of the school and wider community.

We use Oldham’s whole school approach, ‘Supporting Young Minds Through Tough Times’ to review and plan our practice and work closely with families, outside agencies and the children themselves to promote effective emotional health and mental wellbeing awareness, guidance, support and or intervention. Beal Vale lead teacher for emotional health and mental wellbeing is Mrs J Wild (SENCo ) and the lead governor is Mr C Richards. Beal Vale Primary School offers a qualified counselling service from ‘Off the Record’ in school.
