Mental Health
At Kings Furlong Infant School and Nursery, we promote positive mental health and wellbeing for our whole school community: children, staff and families. As the most important influence on our children at school we think it is important that we work together and provide support if you need it. Working as a team, with you, is the best way we can support our children socially, emotionally as well as academically.
Our staff are here to help if you need to chat or want some advice:
