At Chesterton Primary School, we believe that mental health and wellbeing is of central importance to the lives of all of us in the school community.
We understand that the challenges of parents, staff and children are different and from time to time we all face difficult for periods that we may need support with.
We believe having a mentally healthy community is not about being happy all the time, but about working together through challenges, and feeling supported, accepted and valued.
