KILLOWEN PRIMARY SCHOOL
Support for Mental Health
In school we use various approaches and strategies to promote positive health and well-being with our pupils including using mindfulness exercises; active, co-operative and creative lessons; working with our partner schools and participating in the Global Learning Programme.
The school is currently in the second year of the PATHS programme which delivers lessons on how to improve Social Emotional Learning across each year group. Staff are supported by a Barnardo's Programme Worker.
Killoqwen has a long-established working partnership with Familyworks who provide the Counselling Service 'Imagine IF' each week in school.
