Heath Mount Primary School’s Vision

We acknowledge that, whilst we come at it from unique perspectives, good mental health and wellbeing is of central importance and essential to our lives. The challenges faced by our children, parents and staff are unique.

We believe having a mentally healthy community is not about being happy all the time, but about working together through the challenges and sharing the celebrations; feeling supported, heard, accepted, valued and empowered.

Supporting Wellbeing at Heath Mount Primary School 

At Heath Mount, we take our responsibilities in supporting wellbeing and mental health seriously.

The World Health Organisation defines mental health as: 

"Mental health is not just the absence of mental disorder. It is defined as a state of well-being in which every individual realises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community." 

Mind states: 

“What is mental wellbeing? 

Mental wellbeing doesn't have one set meaning. We might use it to talk about how we feel, how well we're coping with daily life or what feels possible at the moment. 

Good mental wellbeing doesn't mean you're always happy or unaffected by your experiences. But poor mental wellbeing can make it more difficult to cope with daily life.”
