Pastoral and Wellbeing Provision

At Chipstead Valley Primary we ensure that everyone within our school community feels well supported. We believe that good pastoral support focuses on nurturing the individual needs of each child and building trusting relationships. Pastoral care underpins personal development and we ensure that our children feel they belong to our community. Through the pastoral support we provide, our children are able to flourish as they feel valued and cared for. Here is some of the pastoral and wellbeing provision that we offer:

Zones of Regulation 

At CVPS, we use the Zones of Regulation to teach children how to regulate their emotions by categorising feelings into four coloured zones. The Zones of Regulation framework provides strategies to teach children to become aware of and independent in recognising, naming and choosing a ‘tool’ to manage their emotions and impulses. This approach aims to improve their ability to solve potential conflicts and help to manage behaviour. There is a consistent approach to the use of the Zones of Regulation throughout CVPS, from EYFS to Year 6, with displays in each classroom.

Young Carers

A young carer is a child or young person (under 18 years old) who is helping to look after someone. This may be at home, but could also be a person who lives away from the family home. Most are caring for a parent, but some may be taking responsibility for a sibling, grandparent or other relative. It may also be the case that the young carer is looking after a family friend. In some instances, a young carer may care for more than one person. The person(s) they look after will have one or more of:

  • Physical disability (including sensory disability)
  • Learning disability
  • Mental health problem
  • Chronic illness
  • Substance misuse problem

When someone is a Young Carer, they may need a little help to get the most out of school and provide some additional support. For more information, please visit the below links or speak to a member of the safeguarding team:
