LSM Pupil Wellbeing Page
Taking Care of Yourself
This page is all about your wellbeing. We want to make sure you can always find the help and support you may need.
What Does Wellbeing Mean?
There are lots of different elements that work together to make you feel good.
Let’s think of your wellbeing as a group of these elements… a Wellbeing Team!
Every single person has a Wellbeing Team and each team member has control of their own special area.
Mixed Up Messages
As you grow and learn, you may experience a real mixture of emotions. It’s totally normal to have times when you feel…
- Happy
- Excited
- Content
But…
It’s also common to have moments when you feel…
- Worried
- Sad
- Muddled
Your emotions are a part of what makes you, you and being able to recognise them is a massive part of growing up.
Managing big feelings can often be difficult. Our emotions can surprise us by changing and altering, sometimes at the worst possible time or over the smallest thing! Which can leave us feeling confused.
In moments when you’re unsure, or your emotions seem overwhelming, please remember that you don’t have to go through it alone. The staff at school are here to support you through challenging times or offer guidance if you’re feeling lost in a sea of emotions.
Remember, it’s perfectly okay to not feel okay from time to time.

Nurture Your Mind
Just like taking care of our bodies, looking after our mental health is super important. Here are some great ways you can give your mind the love it deserves:
- Express Yourself – Talk to someone you trust about your feelings – a friend, family member, or even your teacher. Sharing what’s on your mind can lighten the load.
- Mindful Moments – Take a few minutes each day to focus on your breath. Mindfulness helps you stay present, calm, and better able to handle challenges.
- Stay Active – Exercise isn’t just great for your body; it works wonders for your mind too! Try activities that make you happy and get you moving.
- Creativity Rocks – Drawing, writing, or playing music can be a fantastic way to express yourself. Let your creativity flow!
- Digital Detox – Take breaks from screens. Too much screen time can impact your mood, so give your eyes and mind a break.
Remember, you’re not alone. Reach out if you need support.

Coping with Loss
Dealing with loss is never easy, especially when it’s someone you love. If you’re struggling with the loss of a family member, pet, or friend, speak to your family or to an adult in school. They can help to guide you through this difficult period.
