At Bilton C of E Junior school we take the mental health and wellbeing of pupils, staff and families very seriously.  We recognise that everyone's life experiences vary and sometimes the challenges encountered can make people vulnerable. With this in mind, and in addition to the support you can access from our school's Home/School Support Worker Mrs Suzanne Hodgson, we  have created this page to enable those in our school community to understand more about some of the help available locally:

​

In School we aim to:

• Help children understand their emotions and feelings
• Be able to talk about their feeling in a safe space
• Develop emotional resilience
• Ensure our pupils know that they are valued
• Help children form and maintain relationships
• Promote self-esteem
• Celebrate difference

Some common life events that may affect you or your child's Mental Wellbeing:

• Loss or bereavement.
• Loneliness.
• Relationship problems.
• Issues at school.
• Money worries.

Everyone deserves to feel good - to help with Mental Wellbeing:

The CCASS service is for children and young people (up until their 19th birthday) who are on the neurodevelopmental waiting list for an autism diagnosis, or who have previously received a diagnosis but require support. 

The service can offer low level support, focussing on understanding, communication, sensory integration, processing, behaviour, self-esteem, and daily routines and activities.
