Wellbeing at St Mary’s CE Primary School
St Mary’s are extremely proud of our wellbeing provision in school. In June 2021, we achieved the Wellbeing Award for Schools. The report is available to view on this section of the website. In school we have a staff Wellbeing Team and a team of Wellbeing Ambassadors from Year 5 and Year 6.

Bekindtomymind is a Bolton campaign, developed by the Healthy Minds Youth Project and NHS Bolton Clinical Commissioning Group, to reduce the stigma and discrimination around mental health. The aim is to show young people who are struggling with emotional or mental health problems to know “it’s okay to talk.
There are also links and contacts that are really helpful to pupils and their parents. The great news is, there are local organisations based in Bolton that can support, if needed, alongside national helplines.
Please take a look at the link even if you feel that you do not need these services. It is always good to know what help and support is out there. You may even be able to pass the information on to someone who you feel would benefit from some help.
