Health and Wellbeing at Wallsend Jubilee Primary School
Physical, mental health and wellbeing are a big focus for us here at Wallsend Jubilee. Through this page parents and carers will be able to find out about how to support their child to be physically and mentally healthy through fun activities and useful websites you may wish to visit. Being a parent/carer is both demanding and rewarding, it is important to keep yourself mentally healthy too, so you’ll see there is information for adults as well as children.
If your child is looking for things to do, or you both need a bit of inspiration, you’re in the right place!
If you are worried about your child, you can speak to any member of staff for further support and advice.
