Stoke Primary School is committed to ensuring that all members of the school community have strong Mental Well Being.  A key factor in our approach is that Well Being support is the responsibility of a team not an individual.  We have two teams in school; the Mental Health Team and the Youth Mental Health Team (Find out more about Youth Mental Health here.)

As part of the approach, a team of 5 staff have been trained in Mental Health First Aid.  They are 

Matthew Ascroft - Head Teacher

Lucy Pater- Deputy Head Teacher, Senior Mental Health Lead (qualification pending)

Rhiann McGarrity- School Business Manager

Rebecca Fenlon - Family Team

Carla Lapworth - Nursery Teacher and EYFS Lead

Within a review of provision by Coventry City Council, the report stated 

"Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing Provision 2020

The school have 9 members of staff trained in Mental Health First Aid. This is an exceptional number of staff for a Primary school, and therefore will hugely benefit all the pupils who require additional support quickly and appropriately. This is especially important after the current pandemic which may have had a detrimental impact on children’s mental health."
