Welcome to the Well Being Spot!
A safe space to explore well being activities, feelings and more.

It is common for children on the Autistic Spectrum to have sensory needs. Some of these needs may restrict the types of food they eat every day.
This visual aims to illustrate what the eating experience may be like for a child on the spectrum and how it relates to the issues of anxiety, control and risk management.
In some children the anxiety is so high that it can develop into an eating disorder called ARFID.

As part of our celebration of Children’s Mental Health Week, we invited our pupils to take part in a competition. Pupils were asked to design a poster/write a poem/story promoting their ways to wellbeing.
It was hard to choose from all the amazing entries pupils submitted, but we finally decided the following children deserved one prize each.
Congratulations to Caitlin, Nicholas, Noah, Eloise, Diana, Alexander, Angelo and Anastasia.
They each won a 5 a day bag containing a water bottle, a key ring, a bookmark, a card game and a copy of the fantastic book 5 a day to Wellbeing.
As part of wellbeing is the skill to connect with the community , the winners have also secured a copy of the book for their class.
Very proud of you !
