Mental Health and Wellbeing at Milne’s High School
At Milne’s High School, we are deeply committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of all our young people. We recognise that good mental health is essential for learning, growth, and thriving both in and beyond the classroom. Our whole-school approach ensures that every pupil feels valued, listened to, and supported through whatever challenges they may face.
Over 30 members of staff have undertaken specialist Active Listening training through the Children and Young People’s Mental Health (CYPMH) programme. This equips our team with the skills to recognise signs of distress, provide empathetic support, and help pupils access the most appropriate help when needed.
We also signpost pupils and families to a range of trusted mental health resources, including youngminds.org.uk, available through our school website. These resources offer practical advice and guidance for young people, parents, and carers on managing emotional wellbeing and accessing further support services.
As always, for additional information or individual concerns, parents and carers should contact their young person’s Guidance Teacher in the first instance. Together, we aim to create a compassionate and supportive school community where positive mental health is everyone’s priority.
