Wellbeing at Beckfoot Oakbank
Our goal at Beckfoot Oakbank is to ensure that students emotional wellbeing is at the very heart of our school. We aim to help create a school culture that enables our students to be energised, effective, healthy and positive with a growth mindset.
Although we aim to minimise the requirement for mental health first aid, we aim to support our students in need, with the very best help and support that the school and outside agencies can offer, so they can continue to recover, progress, and excel in the face of all life’s challenges. We hope to have a lifelong positive impact on the mental well-being of our students.
