Welcome Back from our Pastoral Care Team

We are delighted to be welcoming back all our children to Uphill School on Thursday 3rd September 2020.

It has been a good many months since we have been together and we will all have had different experiences during this unprecedented time. Our Learning Mentors – Helen Hetherington and Anita Beal will be available to all children and their families in school when we return. They can be contacted using the following email address: [email protected], or you may catch up with them during drop off and pick up times.

Have a look at some of our other blog posts about mental health and wellbeing, and some websites that we think you might find useful.

At Uphill Primary, we aim to promote the wellbeing and self-esteem of each child to ensure that each child is happy, secure and encouraged to develop to their full potential. To support the safety and wellbeing of all our children we use the principles of Team Teach. Team Teach is an accredited training framework designed to focus on positive behaviour support, with an emphasis on de-escalation that leads to desirable outcomes and positives relationships.

We recognise that parents and carers are essential in supporting the children’s wellbeing and therefore their ability to access their education to the full but also know that there can be times in everybody’s lives when, for whatever reason, events happen that make this difficult.

As a pastoral team, we have the skills and knowledge to support children and parents through these times
