New Resource: Children’s Wellbeing Booklist
We are delighted to share a brand-new resource to support our children and families!
Reading together can be a wonderfully gentle and effective way to help children navigate life's challenges, understand their emotions, and build resilience. To help you find the right stories at the right time, we have curated a recommended reading list across a wide range of important topics, including:
Transitions & Coping with Change
Managing Worries & Anxiety
Navigating Loss & Grief
Understanding & Managing Big Feelings
Building & Navigating Friendships
The list includes thoughtful recommendations suitable for children of different age groups, from early years through to older pupils.
You can view and download the full reading guide on the Wellbeing page of our school website:

We hope you find this resource valuable when exploring these meaningful topics with your child at home!
