Mental Health Support at HSW 

Springwood is one big family and as part of this we provide an education, but first an foremost we support everyone who is part of that family when things get tough. At Hoyland Springwood we understand how life can sometimes challenge us and how we all need help sometimes. 

Children, parents, carers, guardians and school staff will all need some support at times and hopefully this page will point you in the right direction.

​We will also aim to share with you our support that we offer within school for our children.

What we do in school everyday​
-  Physically active - To start off our day each class takes part in 15 minutes of physical activity, with this taking many different forms - Yoga, meditation, circuit training, short outside walk or run. This allows children to prepare for the day ahead, burning off any excess energy and giving them time to prepare for learning. 

​​ 
- Daily journaling - each child has the chance to off loss their emotions and brains in order to feel ready to learn. The children also have time to talk carks in school and know their thoughts and feelings will be heard.


- Affirmations - each day the children partake in affirmations to remind themselves just how amazing they are.

Growth Mindset - I'm not there....Yet - Each classroom promotes the growth mindset to help build strength and resilience in each child when things get tough. We know and understand how children find it easy to give up when things get tough, but at Springwood we aim to build resilience and perseverance, when they aren't there... yet!! Having a growth ​mindset is having a frame of mind, in which you do not worry too much, or put too much emphasis on your current situation.

Higher level of support strategies 

Sometimes our young people go through experiences, which even as adults we would struggle with understanding. As part of the ECM trusts mental health strategy we have designed a network of support which children are signposted to when challenging events occur in their lives to help them understand and create a strategy for managing this. 
​
Incredible Me! 
Incredible Me is a wellbeing system that has been especially designed by the schools in the ECM academy trust. It is a whole school system focused around creating effective opportunities for the development of resilience, independence and self-esteem. Incredible me identifies age appropriate skills or 'superpowers' that we would like children to develop during their time at school, and provides classroom based staff with a bank of activity ideas to equip all children with the 'superpowers' they will need as they progress. Children throughout school are assessed and areas where support is needed are identified. Whole class lessons, small group work and individual sessions are planned as a result of these assessments.

Books Beyond Words
Books Beyond words is a charity based foundation which produces books with no text, just pictures. They cover topics such as physical and mental health, lifestyle ,relationships, abuse and trauma, grief and bereavement. Each book is designed to help with an easier understanding, allowing children to relate their experiences to the books.

The main aim of the book is to open up conversations about potential topics or experiences that people have gone through, check understanding, explore feelings and prepare for new experiences to come. Using these books allows us to empower the children, remove barriers to understanding, reduce anxiety and allows their own stories to be heard.
