Wellbeing and Nurture UK
At Barton Junior School, we believe that our wellbeing is at the heart of being ready to learn.
We follow the 6 Principles of Nurture UK to ensure that children feel safe at our school and to support them when they are feeling vulnerable.
This forms part of our whole school approach to monitoring children’s development and wellbeing with Nurture inspired interventions and support available when required. Nurture principles and practice have been consistently shown to improve pupils’ social and emotional functioning and academic achievement.

The Resilience Hub
The Resilience Hub website provided by HeadStart Kent is a great starting point for both young people and their parents to search for advice and support.
They have listed some of the best and most reliable information, articles, tools and resources relating to resilience and emotional well-being. The Resilience Hub website can increase your understanding and awareness, and find approaches and tools to navigate your way to appropriate support and services.
Aimed predominantly at children over 10 years old, a lot of the information can be adapted or used by parents with younger children too.
