Carnforth Community Primary and Nursery

Talking to a pupil about their wellbeing can feel daunting, particularly when you are unsure what to say or worried about hearing something concerning.

Our latest guide reminds educators that they do not need to be specialists to provide meaningful support.

The guide explores:
• Building warm, trusting relationships
• Choosing a safe and appropriate place to talk
• Using side-by-side conversations to reduce pressure
• Staying calm when a pupil shares a concern
• Being clear and honest about confidentiality
• Knowing when to involve safeguarding colleagues or seek support yourself

It also includes practical conversation starters to help staff open discussions gently and give pupils space to talk when they are ready.

We are privileged to have two Inclusion Bases within our mainstream school. This gives opportunities and experiences to children who need to learn in a different way. Every Friday, whatever the weather, it’s outdoor schooling!!! Watch out for more posts as we are launching our Forest School for the whole school very soon…
