Wellbeing Team

Hayley Garnett and Kelly Hardacre are Castercliff Primary Academy’s Wellbeing Team. Their role is to provide mental health and wellbeing support for children and their families. Mr Bill Switzer, Assistant Principal works closely with Hayley and Kelly in supporting this throughout school.

Our Wellbeing Team work closely with children, parents and family members on issues that may be affecting them. They can offer support and advice on a wide range of issues and can signpost parents towards outside agencies if required.

In school, children are offered informal one-to-one or small group chat/play sessions, wellbeing groups and workshops, as well as targeted therapeutic support. Alongside this, parents and carers have access to wellbeing support in the form of friendly one-to-one chats which can be on an ad hoc or a more regular basis.

The Wellbeing Team work closely with staff, outside agencies and organisations to improve opportunities for children and their families at our school. An integral part of their role is linking families with other agencies, such as school nurses, parenting workshops/programmes, the Children and Family Wellbeing Service, counselling services, financial and housing advice services, and parent support groups.

If you are feeling like you need some support, feel free to use the contact form at the bottom of this page, alternatively please contact the school office and ask for the Wellbeing Team or ring the school on 01282 617627. No problem is too big or too small, they are here to listen.
