Sustainable September is a nationwide month of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature and for our part in it, we are planning for several activities including bike repairs with Dr Bike, a repair cafe, plants and seed sale, children's eco craft and planting activities, face painting, 2nd hand book exchange.

Our regular community gardening and litter picking will also run. And there will be light lunch refreshments and live music!

What is Mental Health?!

How we feel inside, in our hearts and minds

Sometimes we feel happy, sometimes sad, sometimes worried...

  But that is okay!

As parents and carers, there are ways we can support our children to give them the best chance to stay mentally healthy. It’s important to encourage children to be aware of their own mental health and to reflect on their wellbeing. We can all start to encourage this from a young age. 

How can we take care of ourselves?

Talk to someone

Be kind to ourselves

Help others

Be thankful

Children's Mental Health Week 2025 will take place from 3-9 February 2025.

The theme for 2025 is Know Yourself, Grow Yourself.

Launched by the children’s mental health charity, Place2Be, the aim is to encourage children and young people to embrace and explore self-awareness.

During Mental Health week our school will present a special Collective Worship for the children as well as having relevant discussions within class time.

There are lots of resources online to help and we would encourage you browse these links -
