Mental Health & Wellbeing

At Montgomery 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 Monty understand the importance of being responsible of 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, story telling and the wider curriculum.
