Pastoral support

Supporting emotional well-being so every child feels safe, understood, and ready to learn and grow each day.

At Gretton Primary Academy, we care deeply about the emotional well-being of our children, families, and staff. We understand that life can bring challenges, and sometimes we all need a little extra support. That’s why we’re committed to helping our pupils grow not just academically, but socially and emotionally too.

We take mental health seriously and are proud to have Miss Wade, our Education Welfare Assistant, who is a trained ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant). ELSA sessions provide a safe and supportive space for children who may be finding things tricky. Whether it’s worries, friendships, or big feelings, we’re here to help. When children feel understood and supported, they’re happier and more ready to learn.
