At Ripponden J&I School, we understand that positive mental health and wellbeing is paramount in developing happy and well adjusted learners who are successful inside and outside of the classroom. We have ensured that our school is a safe place to express our feelings and emotions and all stakeholders know that it's okay to not feel okay sometimes.  We empower pupils to help self-regulate to be able to better cope with every day challenges and we effectively coordinate with external agencies who are there to help out with life's bigger challenges.
