At Lostock Primary School, Mental Health and Wellbeing is a priority and we want all our children and stakeholders to be happy and understand how to handle different emotions. We support our children in a range of different ways throughout the year and believe in following the 5 Ways of Wellbeing to encourage and promote positive Mental Health.
