St. Bede's Catholic Junior School
Health and Wellbeing
At St. Bede's Catholic Junior School, we aim to promote positive mental health and wellbeing for our whole school community (children, staff, parents/ carers), and recognise how important mental health and emotional wellbeing is to our lives in just the same way as physical health.
As part of the St. Bede's family we are always here to support you during difficult times.
As soon as you notice a problem, we recommend contacting the school to discuss your concerns. Mrs Tiernan, Mrs Geoghegan, Mrs Harrington and Mrs Lloyd-Green are available to offer support or direct you to the right teams within Halton.
