At William Patten we believe that supporting children’s social and emotional well-being is a crucial part of their childhood journey. Learning to understand and manage our feelings early on, gives us vital social and emotional skills for later in life. We are committed to providing an environment where children talk about their own wellbeing and mental health. We teach them to notice their emotions, talk about how they are feeling and develop good emotional intelligence. Pupils learn to effectively communicate their own emotions, build resilience and understand how other people may be feeling.
We support all of our pupils to learn the following:
Knowing Emotions – recognising a feeling as it happens
Managing Emotions – what to do to help themselves if they feel anxious or upset
Handling Relationships – form positive and respectful relationships with others
Empathy – be aware and understanding of other people’s emotions
Self-Motivation – be in charge of their emotions rather than controlled by them
The mental health and wellbeing of the whole school community is supported by the Mental Health and Wellbeing (MHWB) Team, which has been developed alongside the Wellbeing and Mental Health in Schools (WAMHs) Project.
The MHWB Team consists of:
MHWB Lead – Sian Davies (DHT)
Place2Be School Project Manager – Rachael Haynes
CAMHs Worker in School (CWiS) – Lora Linhares-Marx
Mental Health Support Team (MHST) – Danila De Morais
SENDCO – Caitlin Shaw
Wellbeing Governor – TBC
Wellbeing and good mental health is at the heart of everything we do: when we talk to each other, through our curriculum, awareness events and special assemblies. We care for and support each other – making William Patten a very special place.
The Family Coach Service is a team of 2 (Rachel and Emily). Together they work under the Educational Psychologist Service within Hackney’s Integrated SEND Services to provide coaching opportunities for families of SEN.
They are a needs-based service which means families do not need an official diagnosis or EHC Plan to access their services. Just an identified need or difference in any of the 4 areas of SEND:
If you are unsure whether they are a service for you, please contact them at familycoach@hackney.gov.uk and we will be happy to address any concerns or answer any questions
