Mental Health and Wellbeing

We are proud to be a One Goal Bronze Award Mental Health Champion School. At Fingringhoe, wellbeing is not an add-on; it is an important part of everyday school life. We want our pupils and staff to feel supported, valued and able to thrive, and we recognise that good mental health plays an important part in learning, relationships and belonging.

As part of our commitment to this, 13 members of our school community have completed Mental Health Champion training, helping us to build knowledge, confidence and understanding across the school. Through the work of our Mental Health Champions and our wider approach to wellbeing, we continue to make mental health and wellbeing something we talk about, understand and prioritise every day.

Our School Council

Our School Council empowers pupils to have a meaningful voice in school life. Representatives work together to review and improve aspects of the school, sharing ideas, discussing different perspectives and making decisions through constructive debate and democratic voting. This helps children develop confidence, responsibility and an understanding of the importance of active citizenship.

Allergy Awareness and First Aid

All staff at Fingringhoe are trained in allergy awareness, including recognising the signs of anaphylaxis and the correct use of adrenaline auto-injectors (AAIs). This training supports the requirements of Benedict’s Law and current guidance for schools on managing allergies and anaphylaxis.

Our Early Years staff, lunchtime and other key members of staff are also trained in Paediatric First Aid, providing additional first-aid expertise during the school day.

We take the safety of our children seriously and ensure that staff have the knowledge and training needed to respond appropriately to medical emergencies.
