Emotional Health & Mental Wellbeing

At Friezland Primary School we believe that good social, emotional and mental wellbeing can create the foundations for healthy behaviours and educational attainment. This is embedded in all aspects of our wide, varied and inclusive curriculum. We use Oldham’s whole school approach, ‘Supporting Young Minds Through Tough Times’ to review and plan our practice and work closely with families, outside agencies and the children themselves to promote effective emotional health and mental wellbeing awareness, guidance, support and or intervention. Friezland Primary School’s lead teacher for emotional health and mental wellbeing is Miss.R, Hill (Acting Headteacher) and the lead governor is Mrs. V. Fitzpatrick.

In recognising the significance of early intervention and prevention in mental health, our Youth in Mind initiative is specifically targeted to respond to the needs of children and young people. If you would like further information on any of our services please click the image below  or contact them on 0161 330 9223- They will be happy to answer any queries.

Tamside, Oldham and Glossop MIND are a charity that support children and families in our area. They hold a drop in session on Thursday evenings at the Positive Steps building in Oldham town centre.
