Mental Health & Wellbeing

At St Aloysius we are committed to the emotional needs of our children and recognise that there may be certain times in their lives when they require professional counselling support.

During these times of need we offer support through engagement with counsellors from the Road Centre (Chester-le-Street).  The counsellor is able to form a strong relationship with the child and is able to meet with them in a quiet and calm area in school.  Here they are encouraged and given time to explore their feelings through talk, creativity and therapeutic activities.

We hope that through early intervention we can help prepare the children for a bright future, knowing there is always someone who will listen to their concerns and feelings.

Poverty Proofing

At St Aloysius Catholic Infant and Junior Schools, we aim to provide all children with experiences and opportunities that enable them to achieve their full potential, have fun and prepare them for life beyond primary school. These opportunities sometimes have a cost attached to them and we believe that no family should ever be in a position where they struggle financially because of the ‘Cost of the School Day’.

We are committed to ensuring that every child at our school has equal access to all opportunities available to them, regardless of financial position, and have worked hard to identify and overcome the barriers to learning that children from families with less financial resources face. Government figures indicate that in the UK, 9 children in an average class of 30 (30%) are living in poverty, is important that we strive to remove financial barriers to education; supporting our families as much as we can within our community.
