Health and Wellbeing

Health and Wellbeing

 

Health and wellbeing at Pontarddulais Primary School is about looking after children's physical and mental health, including emotional well-being. We focus on Healthy Relationships, healthy eating, how to make good decisions and how to deal with social influences.

Lots of our provision is 'Caught' as well as 'Taught'.

Our Core Principles are outlined below. They underpin everything we do as a school and help to realise the four purposes.

You can view all photos of what the children do for Heath and Wellbeing by following the Twitter/X link, #BontHWB or #BontHW

Health & Well-being Core Principles

Community Links - We believe the school is at the heart of the community and community links are fostered and developed through our Ethos and curriculum.

Experiences - Health & Well-being 'Caught' and 'Taught' - SCHOOL ETHOS
