Wellbeing
Welcome to the Wellbeing section of our school's website. At Salmestone Primary School, we recognise the importance of underpinning academic growth by nurturing the holistic well-being of our students.
This section provides resources, support, and guidance to help our students and their families, and to promote positive mental health practices among our school community.
Navigating the challenges of growing up can sometimes be overwhelming. We are committed to fostering a supportive environment where students feel empowered to prioritise their wellbeing and seek assistance when needed. It is very important that if you have any worries or concerns about your safety, mental health or wellbeing you talk to a member of staff. This can be your tutor, a teacher or a member of the pastoral team.
In collaboration with students, parents, staff and mental health professionals, we have curated a range of resources to signpost you to.. Whether you're looking for information on coping strategies, stress management techniques during exams, or seeking support for yourself or a friend, you'll find valuable insights and practical tools to navigate the ups and downs of life.
Our goal is to promote a culture of open dialogue surrounding mental health, reducing stigma, and creating a sense of belonging within our school community.
Explore the resources available in this section, and remember, you are not alone.
Meet the team who are here to support you every step of the way on your journey through school...

We were thrilled to welcome children’s illustrator Emily Fellah to visit our Year 1 and Year 2 classes! Emily led an exciting workshop focused on storytelling through illustration. Year 2 pupils used their model text The Storm Whale as inspiration to design their own imaginative characters, while Year 1 brought the classic tale of The Three Little Bears to life through their drawings. It was a creative and inspiring afternoon for all, sparking a love of storytelling and art!

As part of our collaboration with the Turner Contemporary, our year 6s and year 1s completed a workshop with artist, Jose. The children explored different brush strokes and explored how secondary and tertiary colours can be made using the primary colours. They also explored some of Jose's art work, thinking about what equipment he had used and what they could see. Following the workshop, the children explored Anna Boghiguian's exhibition called 'The Sunken Boat'. It was a fabulous day. We look forward to February when Jose will come and visit us to develop their paintings further.

There continues to be an increasing number of individuals riding e-scooters on the public highway, pavements and in public open spaces. E-Scooters are classed as motor vehicles and are required to be taxed and insured. It is not possible to get insurance for privately owned e-scooters, which means it is illegal to use them on the road or in public spaces, such as pavements. ⚠️Enforcement The police are obliged to take action against anyone who is caught repeatedly using an e-scooter illegally or in a way that causes a nuisance to others. In these circumstances, the police have the power to seize the e-scooter under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act/165 of the Road Traffic Act. You risk a £300 fine, six penalty points endorsed on your driving licence and the E-Scooter being seized. If you do not currently hold a driving licence at the time of the offence, you may be prosecuted and may have to go to court, whereby the fine can increase and your ability to obtain a driving licence in the future may be affected. If you purchase an E-Scooter, it can only be used on private land with the landowner’s consent. Fire Safety Kent Fire and Rescue Service always advises people to use, charge and store lithium-ion batteries safely and responsibly to help reduce the risk of a fire. Lithium-ion batteries, or li-ion batteries (sometimes called LIBs) are found in many household items, including mobile phones, laptops, e-bikes, e-scooters, vaping devices, and vacuums. If used or stored incorrectly, there is a risk these batteries could ignite or start a fire. To help avoid an emergency, remember to: 📍 Buy electrical items from a reputable retailer 📍 Follow the manufacturer’s guidance on charging and storing 📍 Only charge during the day when you are at home, and on a non-flammable surface 📍 Always unplug after use or when charged 📍 Avoid storing, using or charging batteries at very high or low temperatures 📍 Protect batteries from being damaged, such as being crushed, punctured, or immersed in water. If a battery has been damaged, don’t use it. And make sure to register electrical items at www.registermyappliance.org.uk/. Additional information.
