Wellbeing
Welcome to the Wellbeing section of our school's website. At Salmestone Primary School, we recognise the importance of underpinning academic growth by nurturing the holistic well-being of our students.
This section provides resources, support, and guidance to help our students and their families, and to promote positive mental health practices among our school community.
Navigating the challenges of growing up can sometimes be overwhelming. We are committed to fostering a supportive environment where students feel empowered to prioritise their wellbeing and seek assistance when needed. It is very important that if you have any worries or concerns about your safety, mental health or wellbeing you talk to a member of staff. This can be your tutor, a teacher or a member of the pastoral team.
In collaboration with students, parents, staff and mental health professionals, we have curated a range of resources to signpost you to.. Whether you're looking for information on coping strategies, stress management techniques during exams, or seeking support for yourself or a friend, you'll find valuable insights and practical tools to navigate the ups and downs of life.
Our goal is to promote a culture of open dialogue surrounding mental health, reducing stigma, and creating a sense of belonging within our school community.
Explore the resources available in this section, and remember, you are not alone.
Meet the team who are here to support you every step of the way on your journey through school...

Recently a team from Year 3/4 entered a Netball Festival at Wellesley Haddon Dene. 🎉 The Salmestone team played 3 exciting games against children from Wellesley Haddon Dene, Northdown and St Georges primary schools. 😊 The children showed brilliant sportsmanship, kindness and teamwork and there were plenty of smiles from the team throughout the day. We are very proud of our Salmestone team for their grit, determination and fun-loving attitudes.

Our Reception class had a wonderful trip to Broadlees Farm in Dover last term! 🐑🌿 The children enjoyed a hands-on experience, gently stroking lambs, exploring where farm animals live, and asking lots of thoughtful questions. It was a fantastic opportunity to bring learning to life and help the children understand more about animals and life on a farm. We are so proud of how curious, respectful, and enthusiastic they were throughout the visit—well done, Reception! 💚
