At Hamble Primary School, we are committed to supporting our children with their mental health. We encourage the children to develop their mindfulness, recognition of emotions and self-regulation skills both and home and at school.

We took part in Place2Be's Children's Mental Health Week 2025 where we focused on their theme of 'Know Yourself, Grow Yourself’'. 

  The more we can understand about ourselves, the more prepared we are to express our emotions and take on life’s ups and downs.

Being self-aware means getting to know and understand what we are good at, what we find difficult, our likes and dislikes, what makes us feel JOY and what may cause us SADNESS. It is also about understanding what makes us unique and our fears, hopes and dreams. As we build a sense of self, we grow in our ability to connect with others, as well as develop our skills and talents. It is with this basis we can form strong and healthy relationships, from early childhood right through to adulthood and are equipped to cope with the challenges that life brings our way. During Children’s Mental Health Week, we will be doing a variety of tasks throughout the week to support children with this in school. Should you wish to get involved at home too, please find below some tips for families to help explore our different emotions and grow ourselves, as well as lots of useful advice which can be found at  https://here4you.co.uk/

Children's Mental Health Provision Map

Through discussions between parents and teachers, our provision map details some of the ways we may support children at Hamble Primary School. Children requiring more specific support, for example from waves 3 and 4, will always start with having a parent/teacher conversation to work together to ensure the correct support is offered. Not everything is relevant for every child and our in-school practitioner may advise on the most appropriate support, so please do not use this as a menu of what school can offer your child but more to guide you on the types of support we offer for various children.

Should you think your child needs support with their mental health, please start by speaking to your child's teacher.
