At Margaret's we are committed to supporting the wellbeing of our whole school community.
Our Wellbeing advocates within our school parliament work hard to promote the 5 ways to wellbeing across school. We meet every half term to focus on ways to help our staff and children to connect, stay active, take notice, learn and give.
We continuously striving to provide opportunities for children to learn about and explore aspects of health and wellbeing throughout our curriculum including PE, ICT, Science, RE and DT (cookery skills). Our spiral Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE) curriculum promotes children's personal development including lessons which focus on Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) and RSHE, citizenship, keeping safe, growing up, physical wellbeing and how to keep safe in the real world and online. We use texts and emotional literacy within our lessons and assemblies to ensure children know who and how to ask for help now and in preparation for future situations and challenges as they navigate their lives to make positive, healthy choices.
We hope you will find useful information in this section of our website including links to wider services. Please contact the school office if you are looking for further information which cannot be found on our websitesite.

School Travel PlanSt Margaret's is located in a busy part of Horsforth and we encourage children and parents to walk to and from school as much as they possible can. We promote car sharing and use of public transport for children who travel from further afield in order to reduce traffic congestion and keep roads as safe as possible around our school. Our Eco- Warrior Team find opportunities to promote sustainable travel throughout the school year as part of our school parliament initiatives.In a recent Horsforth walk of Art project, we thought about sustainable travel and how it impacts our environment.
Zones of RegulationAt St Margaret's we know how important it is to be able to communicate our feelings and have a positive state of mind. Our zones of regulation give us a shared language in order to talk about our feelings and ensure we are feeling happy and ready to learn in school and are able to as for help when we need to. The flipbook gives us ideas for strategies when we are in each of the zones. See the attached powerpoint for a clear explanation of how we use these Zones in our school.
