Every week, we run both Nurture and Wellbeing Groups in School. These groups aim to support lots of our children with different social and emotional aspects of their learning. Nurture groups are developed and planned by our SENDCO and Family Support Workers, whereas wellbeing groups are available to any children who wish to take part in them. Please see below for photos of some of the wonderful things children have been doing within these groups.

Each year at Padiham Primary School, we give two Year 5 students the chance to become our newly recruited 'Young Mental Health Champions.' The children selected take part in a full days training, delivered by representatives from Burnley School Sports Partnership. Our Year 5 and 6 'Mental Health Champions' then work together closely to roll out new initiatives, to promote the mental health and wellbeing of all of our pupils. These have previously included; delivering assemblies, running wellbeing groups, developing a 'Talk Team' and a 'Talk to Me Box.'

We look forward to seeing who will be chosen this year 2025/2026 and what wonderful ideas they will have in store...
