Wellbeing

Happy Children Learn - helping our children to develop good well being

Millbrook Primary School believes in helping each and every member of our community to have good levels of well being. This is fundamental to how we live our lives and gives us a good platform to help us to learn. If we have good well being then we are more likely to be successful in our learning.

Each half term, we focus on a different value through a launch assembly and daily 'Pause for Thought' sessions in class.
