Mental Health and Wellbeing

Pupil and family wellbeing is of up-most importance to us at Otterhampton Primary School. We want to ensure that children and families feel supported with their emotional and mental health.

Please use the links below to find information, suggestions and routes to support, as well as activities that you could do at home with your child to encourage positive emotional and mental health .

If you have any concerns about your child's wellbeing, please talk with their teacher and they will be able to support you.
