OTHER SCHOOL POLICIES
All Ofsted statutory policies that we are required to publish online are located under Statutory Information. However, below are a selection of other statutory and non-statutory policies you may find useful.

MENTALLY HEALTHY SCHOOL
The Aspire Academy Trust is committed to supporting positive mental health and the Aspire Mental Health Policy is available below.
The ‘Leading a Mentally Healthy School’ training programme has been developed by Health Education England (HEE) and the School Development Support Agency (SDSA), in partnership with an expert group of educational psychologists, education consultants and mental health organisations and responds to the areas highlighted in the recent Green Paper – ‘Transforming Children & Young People’s Mental Health Provision’ (December 2017).
EDUCATION MENTAL HEALTH PRACTIONER AT MHA
Mount Hawke Academy is pleased to welcome Jon Evison, our allocated Educational Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) from the NHS Mental Health Support Team. Jon brings a wealth of experience in supporting young people and their families with mental health and emotional wellbeing. Based in school every Thursday morning, he is committed to working alongside our community. Keep an eye out for upcoming events and workshops, or contact the school if you'd like to discuss how he can help.
WHERE TO GET SUPPORT
Your first point of contact is always the class teacher. Most questions or problems can be sorted out quickly and easily in this way. Teachers are available by contacting the school to arrange a phone call or appointment. We also have regular parent evenings to update you on progress and extra meetings if your child needs further support.
