This week, Mr Brotherton and Mrs Darby led assemblies focused on positive body image as part of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. By educating our school community about eating disorders, we emphasise the importance of looking out for one another and recognising the signs. 

Pupils learned about the support available both in school and externally, as well as the power of mindful language and the reality behind social media filters and editing. Mr Brotherton also highlighted the impact of male mental health and eating disorders, noting that 3 in 10 men over 18 have felt anxiety due to body image concerns, with the most common onset of eating disorders occurring between ages 12 and 25 for young people.
