At Holy Trinity, Mental Health and Emotional Well-being are taken seriously and we endeavour to provide pupils, staff and parents with as much support and information as possible.  Below you will find a Support Poster that lists many (not all) of the interventions, early help to specialist support, that we offer at Holy Trinity.  We are proud of all the wonderful and successful initiatives being run at our school.

Supporting your child with anxiety
Little Parachutes is the World’s most useful (and friendly) collection of Parachute Books : picture books that help children cope with worries, health issues and new experiences (big and small).
There are SO many fantastic picture books to help children out there, but sometimes it’s not easy to find the one YOU need for your child’s situation. Our lovely team endlessly searches, assesses and reviews picture books on milestones such as starting school, potty training, moving house, or a new baby in the house. We have sourced hundreds of books on really challenging situations (divorce, serious illness, infectious diseases, operations and bereavement to name a few). We have books to encourage children to behave well, explore their feelings and develop positive traits such as resilience, confidence, courage, gratitude and kindness
