At Herne Bay Junior School, we deliver a shared and embedded vision and culture that drives academic achievement by putting the mental health and wellbeing of the children at the heart of teaching & learning. First and foremost, they learn about themselves as young people: how to be and keep safe, how to overcome challenges or difficulties, how to be kind and compassionate and how to work collaboratively and successfully with others. We understand that a child must have a healthy and secure mindset before they can actively approach their learning and make expected progress within the curriculum. We want our children to recognise and know how to apply themselves when facing or managing difficult or challenging situations and ultimately, we want them to be successful in achieving their potential.
