Trench Road Nursery School, Derry

Being well, Doing well

We are excited to be part of a new programme developed by the Education Authority called 'Being Well Doing Well', creating a whole school approach to Emotional Health and Wellbeing. We know that when pupils feel valued, happy and secure, they will reach their full potential. The aims of the programme are to;

  • Develop a positive ethos and culture where everyone feels that they belong.
  • Make sure that the whole school community is welcoming, inclusive and respectful.
  • Maximise pupils learning through promoting good mental health & wellbeing across the school – through the curriculum, early support for pupils, staff-pupil/pupil-staff relationships, leadership and commitment from everyone.
  • Foster school leaders to understand the links between mental health & achievement, champions and supports wellbeing of pupils and staff, supports the staff team that is committed to helping all pupils develop social and emotional skills to cope effectively.

We aim to work in collaboration with all our stakeholders; children, parents, staff, community, outside agencies and so much more.
