BWDW

Welcome to the section of our school website that is dedicated to mental health and Well Being.

We are excited to be part of a new programme developed by the Education Authority called Being Well Doing Well, creating a whole school approach to Emotional Health and Wellbeing. We know that when pupils feel valued, happy and secure, they will reach their full potential.

The Being Well Doing Well (BWDW) programme is part of The Children & Young People’s Emotional Health & Wellbeing in Education Framework.

The programme aims to support schools (nursery, primary, post primary, special and EOTAS) to develop a Whole School Approach to Emotional Health and Wellbeing by resourcing them with:

An Emotional Health & Wellbeing Framework to assist them to assess their current practice, identify needs and implement actions to develop the emotional health and wellbeing needs of everyone within the school;
A package of support which includes a BWDW Toolkit, advice, resources and training to assist them to improve the holistic outcomes of the whole school by addressing their emotional health and wellbeing needs; and
Emotional Health and Wellbeing outcomes which will reduce pupils barriers to learning and enhance their readiness to learn.
