Our Aims
Our aims at Warren Road Primary School:
- All children and staff know their mental health and well-being is important
- Make mental health and well-being something we can all talk about
- Ensure we work as a school to provide for the specific mental health and wellbeing needs of the school community through a range of methods and resources
Our pastoral team
Our pastoral team consists of:
- Mrs McCracken – Designated Safeguarding Lead
- Mrs Read – Assistant Headteacher in charge of SEND and Inclusion
- Miss Palmer – KS2 Deputy Head
- Mrs Aimee Steele – KS1 Deputy Head, Mental Health Lead
- Mrs Aiello – Family Worker and Mental Health Lead
- Miss Delaney -ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant)
- Mrs Gibson – Listening Ear
If there are any concerns for a child’s mental health and wellbeing, anyone can refer a child through our clear referral process. The Pastoral Team meets weekly to discuss the referrals and to monitor any child on the Pastoral List. If you have concerns and would like to refer your child, please do not hesitate to contact any of the staff above or email Mrs Aiello at familyworker@warrenroad.lseat.org.uk
Support for children
At Warren Road, we are lucky to have a designated ELSA, Family Worker and Listening Ear. Through the referral system, it is decided what level of support a child needs. These include:
- Close monitoring and liaison with the class teacher
- Check ins at play and lunch by any member of the team
- Listening Ear chats at play or lunch
- Invitation to Forest School
- Playground Pal training
- Lunchtime club
If the child requires more intensive support they may be offered:
- 1:1 session with Mrs Aielo
- Resilience group sessions with Mrs Aielo
- Grief work with Mrs Aielo
If a child or family requires further support from a trained professional we will help the family refer themselves or the child to Bromley Children’s Project or Bromley Y (CAMHS).

Young careers
A young carer is someone aged 25 and under who cares for a friend or family member who, due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction, cannot cope without their support. Older young carers are also known as young adult carers and they may have different support needs to younger carers.
If you consider your child to be a young carer, please contact familyworker@warrenroad.lseat.org.uk so we can look at how we can support your child and your family.
Bromley Well Young Carers Service supports Young Carers aged 4 -19 who are helping to support or care for a parent, sibling, friend or relative at home.
Please see their recent newsletters to find out more about the work they do with young carers. To contact them about support for your child- please contact Lorna: 07598 828070 or Hannah: 07594 091769 youngcarers@bromleywell.org.uk
School Curriculum
Mental health and wellbeing is covered in our school curriculum in lots of different subjects as well as the PSHE/RSE programme. We also use our REACH aspirations to teach and encourage children to have positive aspirations for their mental health. Additionally, our assembly programme is carefully planned out and ensures we cover all mental health related topics throughout the year.
