Project funding to be allocated (in line with
the PID) to support Executive Head teacher and key identified
staff/link ambassadors time to ensure effective planning, delivery
and monitoring of the project.
Extract from PID, "An important element of this project proposal is
the inclusion of structured support for staff of pilot primary
schools. The Project Lead (Executive Head Teacher) will provide 6
coaching and supervision sessions for the participating HTs over
their first year of implementation. This is based on experience,
recognising the often substantial challenges to implementing new
approaches in a real world setting. Others have also recognised
this as a barrier as wellbeing initiatives are often seen as an
extra thing for teachers to do. The Project Lead will use this
opportunity to coach participating HTs as to the wider importance
and impact of addressing children’s mental health and
wellbeing in a primary school setting, with the aim of increasing
their understanding and buy in."
