Lift Percy Shurmer

Mental health

At Lift Percy Shurmer, mental health awareness is integrated into the curriculum, as well as being taught discretely in PSHE lessons.

During oracy lessons, children are taught the vocabulary and skills necessary to express their emotions effectively. Children at Percy understand the importance of being responsible for their emotions, and during PSHE lessons and events such as 'Children's Mental Heath Week' are given strategies for dealing with negative emotions. Teachers encourage dialogue surrounding mental health and emotions with the children incidentally through role play, storytelling and the broader curriculum.
