Wellbeing at TPS

Supporting children through life’s challenges is something we do best when we’re connected and informed. We’ve shared a collection of wellbeing resources that you can explore together as a family. These provide practical ideas for talking with children, supporting their emotions, and looking after your own wellbeing too.

Taking the time to read through and use these resources as a family can help create space for open conversations and reassurance.

Additionally, please know that our school is here to support you. If you or your child are finding things particularly difficult, we encourage you to reach out — we can connect you with extra support and guidance.
