At Preston Primary School we are committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of all our school community. Positive wellbeing is promoted throughout our curriculum and through all school activities - healthy body, healthy mind! 
 

We encourage our children to use a Growth Mindset and this is underpinned by the Secrets of Success. Within our pupil parliament we have a wellbeing committee, which is led by an elected year 6 student. In addition to this, we also have representatives from the governing body, staff and parents to ensure we continue to adopt a whole school approach to mental health and wellbeing.

Being Active

We have a purpose-built running track which takes the children around the large sports field within our grounds. All of our children are encouraged to take part in the Daily Mile.

Outdoor Learning Zone  

The wildlife pond, alongside our fabulous outdoor classroom, ensures we can provide even greater opportunities for the children to get out of the standard classroom environment and into the grounds of our beautiful setting. 

Nurturing

When your child reaches their final year of Primary School, they undertake the role of a buddy whereby they support a new member of our school community to settle into the Reception Class. Throughout the school week, they will accompany their buddy to lunch and enjoy shared activities, such as reading with them.

Support

PHASE-Hitchin is a charity which supports our Year 5 & 6 children with their emotional and physical well-being. They run a series of workshops focusing on:

• Resilience
• Dealing with stress and uncertainty
• Planning for the future

Healthy Eating

We encourage children to follow a balanced diet and that forms part of our curriculum. As part of the Government's Healthy Eating Scheme all children in KS1 are offered a piece of fruit or vegetable at break time. Parents of KS2 children can opt in to the scheme or provide their child with a healthy snack for break time.
