🧠 Mental Health Champions

Today, our Year 7 students received a talk from Miss Gray about signing up to become Mental Health Champions.

The programme will equip students with the confidence and practical skills to listen effectively, support others appropriately and encourage positive conversations about mental health—while recognising when adult help is needed.

We listen. We support. We speak up. We lead. 💜💛

See Miss Gray if you’re interested!
