In recognition of World Mental Health Day, our pupils and staff were invited to wear an item of yellow alongside their school uniform to raise awareness of young people’s mental health and our shared responsibility to support it.

A special mention goes to Mrs T Benton’s Personal Development Group, who crafted beautiful yellow friendship bracelets to show their solidarity and support.

– 1 in 6 children aged 5 to 16 were identified as having a probable mental health problem as of July 2020.
