We did it! We have been awarded the Wellbeing Award for Schools which is a national standard for positive mental health and emotional wellbeing. Thank you for all of your support. This will last for 3 years until we need to be revalidated (2021 – 2024). Mental health and wellbeing continues to be a priority for us so please get in touch if you have any concerns.
Mental Health and Well-being
There is still so much stigma attached to mental health and yet statistics show that it affects so many people. If we’d hurt our arm or leg then we would be happy to tell our friends and family. We need to have the same level of openness when we have poor mental health. The Mind website has lots of information and support – please click on the link.
