At Flushdyke, we are passionate in our belief that school should be a place where everyone can have the opportunity to improve their health and well-being, whether that be as a pupil, member of staff or as a parent.

Our aim is to support our whole-school community, to encourage and provide opportunities to lead a healthier lifestyle in partnership with Wakefield Council.

Mr Lowe is our Well-being Lead in school. If you have any questions or you need any advice about mental health or well-being, please don't hesitate to contact Mr Lowe who will be happy to guide you to the support you need.   

To find out more about how mental health and well-being is taught in school, you can read our Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) Policy which details our approach towards teaching our children those vital skills of being able to recognise, manage and regulate their feelings, whether they are big emotions or small emotions.  

You can also find out more about how mental health and well-being is broken down by year group within our Mental Fitness Programme overview. This will show exactly what children will learn and discuss in each year group, and how previous learning is built upon and what new learning is introduced.
