We know how important it is to support our school community in practising good mental health and wellbeing – that’s why we support our students, staff and parents by offering or signposting a range of Mental Health support services. 

Mrs Sara Townsend is the Designated Mental Health Lead at Pilsley School. Please contact Mrs Townsend if you would like any advice or support about mental health and wellbeing, for children or parents/carers.

If you would prefer to access support yourself, please find below a range of resources offering mental health support for children and adults.  

PLEASE READ

We are now implementing SMILERS into our school. SMILERS is a Derbyshire County Council whole school approach to wellbeing, where each letter of SMILERS is a strategy to promote positive mental health and wellbeing. Please use the link and see the poster below for more information.
