A whole school approach to the well-being of children and staff is at the heart of what South Wingfield is all about. 

We realise that we need a whole school approach to promoting positive mental health and wellbeing in the children at our school. We believe that if we can teach children to understand their emotions, then, not only, will they be happier, but behaviour and learning will improve too.

If we look after staff and value their contribution and the unique skills they bring to their work, they will be an effective team that results in happy people who do their best for the children. 

In September 2024 the school started their SMILERS journey, which is being lead by the Year 5 children and Pupil Parliament.  If you would like to find out more please follow the link:
