Supporting Families and Mental Health

Gladstone Primary Academy works hard to support well-being and mental health. We have 3 working groups who meet regularly to support the mental health and well-being of our children, their families and our staff.

We will be putting lots of helpful information on our website and on the Parent Noticeboards in school, as well as a number of resources on Class dojo, so please check this part of our site regularly.

You can also contact one of our pastoral team members:

Ms Paula Cooper - Home / School Link Worker

Mr Dan Egginton (Senior Learning Mentor)

Mr Dave Brian (Learning Mentor)

Mrs Parkes (Nurture Teacher)
