Life can sometimes be tricky and it can make you feel sad, lonely, worried, nervous and all sorts of other emotions.  This can happen to anyone at any time!  We want to help you with any worries you have so please come and talk to us.  It is OK to be worried about things, and often the more you talk about a worry the smaller it will get.

Talk to someone you trust:

If you are feeling upset, scared, or worried about anything — at school or at home — you should talk to an adult you trust. You could talk to:

• Your teacher or teaching assistant

• The headteacher or safeguarding team

• A lunchtime supervisor

• Your parents, carers, or another family member

• A friend who can help you find an adult

• One of our wellbeing ambassadors - you can find them in school wearing their badges which all say - I have time to talk!

You can tell them in person or if you prefer write a note. Each classroom has a 'Worry Box' you can use to share your worries with your class teacher. They will talk through your worries and try to help you feel happier!

Walton Worry Busters - if you don't want to share your worry with your class teacher you can leave a note in our whole school worry box which is found outside of the main hall.  A Walton Worry Buster will check the box every day and, as soon as we can, we will come and find you to have a chat and see how we can help.
