Wellbeing
At St Minver School, we believe that good physical and mental wellbeing provides the foundation for children to feel happy, safe and ready to learn. Supporting wellbeing is an important part of our work with children and families. The Aspire Academy Trust is committed to promoting positive mental health, and the Trust's Mental Health Policy is available below.

*The ‘Leading a Mentally Healthy School’ training programme has been developed by Health Education England (HEE) and the School Development Support Agency (SDSA), in partnership with an expert group of educational psychologists, education consultants and mental health organisations and responds to the areas highlighted in the recent Green Paper – ‘Transforming Children & Young People’s Mental Health Provision’ (December 2017).
