Here at the Firs Primary School we believe the emotional and mental health of our children is imperative. Therefore, this page is dedicated to the Wellbeing of our staff, pupils and community.
Starting a new academic year can be quite worrying and we understand that this may be heightened due to the current Covid situation. Please rest assured as a school we are doing everything to help support you and your children with any worries you may be feeling.
We understand that your children may not have attended school for a great length of time, so we have added some top tips, activities and information on this page to hopefully help them feel more settled.
If you do have any worries or concerns, please do let a member of staff know, we are happy to help in any way that we can.
We cannot wait to see you everybody back in September!
