Wellbeing
At BCJS, we aim to promote positive mental health and wellbeing for our whole school community (children, staff, parents and carers).
Our role in school is to ensure that you are able to manage times of change and stress, and that you are supported to reach your potential or access help when you need it. We also have a role to ensure that you learn about what you can do to maintain positive mental health both in and outside of school. Therefore, we have provided some additional information regarding wellbeing so you can continue to develop these skills at home.
