Cragside Primary School

Mental Health                 

Here at Cragside we are committed to supporting all members of our school community and this includes taking care of the mental health of children, families and staff alike. We want to be a safe space for all where children and adults alike can thrive and find help when needed.

As part of this ongoing and evolving work, please find the pathways of support on offer for children and their families here. We have also included a variety of links to different organisations outside of school who can offer support.

Our commitment to developing this facet of school life has seen the school take part in a programme with Leeds Beckett University and the Port of Tyne Authority in order to achieve the Schools' Mental Health Award. 

We hope you find this page useful and find the necessary information and support.

We have recently completed a body of work through the Carnegie School of Education at Leeds Beckett University (supported by the North East Combined Local Government Authority) that has enabled to receive a Bronze Award for Schools' Mental Health. This process has raised the profile of Mental Health within our community and helped to embed it within the curriculum and culture of the school. We hope to continue to develop the work with the children, families and staff alike over the coming years in order to strengthen on the firm foundations that we have laid through this process.
