Eastcroft Park are very proud to announce that we have successfully gained the Wellbeing Award for Schools!

This award is in place from now (2021) until 2024. We would like to thank everyone who got involved in the process!

Wellbeing Awards for Schools (WAS) from Optimus Education.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) define good mental health and wellbeing as: "Mental
health is not just the absence of mental disorder. It is defined as a state of well-being in which
every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can
work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community"

Eastcroft Park are working to achieve the Wellbeing Award for Schools this year (2020-21). This award will show our dedication and commitment to improving the wellbeing and mental health of all members of our school community, including parents and staff. We believe that mental health is just as important at physical health, and it is all of our responsibility to ensure we look after ourselves and others. Our aim is to give our children and their families as much support as possible, helping them to stay mentally healthy and breaking the negative stigma that surrounds mental health.
