Mental Health Week:
We began Children’s Mental Health Week 2026 with a special assembly led by our School Council, centred on this year’s theme, “This is my place.” The children shared thoughtful reflections on what it feels like to be included and how a strongsense of belonging can positively impact our mental health and well-being. Pupils also took part in a range of calm and creative activities, including puzzling, yoga, mindful drawing, colouring and beading. These activities gave everyone the chance to relax, be creative and focus on looking after their well-being. We raised an amazing £250 for the Place2be charity, Thank-you!
