At Sissinghurst Primary School, we are committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of pupils and staff. We know that everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable and at times, anyone may need additional emotional support. We take the view that positive mental health is everybody's business and that we all have a role to play.

Here at Sissinghurst, we know the importance of practicing good mental wellbeing. That's why we are committing to offering every child access to specialised professionals.

We currently work with specialist therapists to support some pupils in school. We also have trained school staff here all the time to support all our children when they need it.
