Father John Challis
Wellbeing Governor
As the Wellbeing Governor, it is my role to support the whole school with mental health issues. In many ways we do still feel like we are still experiencing post pandemic’ issues and many people have not settled. I provide a link between the School and the Governing Body and offer support where needed
An Introduction to Mental Health
At Bishop Tufnell we are committed to supporting the health and well-being of our pupils and staff to ensure the school is a community where everyone feels able to thrive. Positive mental well-being is essential if children and young people are to flourish and lead fulfilling lives.
At Bishop Tufnell we:
- Focus on supporting every child to know that they belong - that they are known, noticed, and missed when they are not here.
- Help children feel comfortable sharing any concerns or worries.
- Promote self-esteem and ensure children know that they count.
- Encourage children to be confident.
- Support children with emotional resilience and to be able to manage setbacks.
- Help children to understand their emotions and feelings.
- Help children socially to form and maintain relationships.
