Primary Education: Mental Health Services
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many primary schools in Royal Sutton Coldfield have access to mental health support teams.
- Answer
-
The department is providing access to specialist mental health professionals in every school by expanding Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs). Rollout is delivered with the NHS through Integrated Care Systems, prioritising areas based on need, disadvantage and inequalities.
Six out of seven state-funded secondary schools in the Sutton Coldfield constituency were supported by an MHST in March 2025. We are going to be rolling out the programme to the 25 state-funded primary schools as part of the programme’s ongoing expansion across all schools and colleges in England by 2029/30.
Further data for 2024/25 can be found at:
Latest coverage data as at end 2025/26 will be published in due course, projected to be 60% of pupils and learners nationally.
