School Wellbeing

At Orchards Infant School, wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that happy children learn best, and our SPARKLE ethos—Smile, Pay attention, Ask questions, React positively, Keep trying, Love learning, Enjoy school—guides us in creating a nurturing and joyful environment for every child.

We are proud to offer dedicated wellbeing support through our Learning Mentor, who works closely with children to build confidence, resilience, and emotional awareness. We also partner with the charity Thought-Full, whose expert team provides additional guidance and resources to help our pupils thrive both in and out of the classroom. We run a range of interventions to support children from Lego Therapy to Talking and Drawing.

Together, we ensure that every child feels safe, valued, and ready to shine.
