This year, Children’s Mental Health Week is taking place between Monday 9th February and Friday 13th February, and is a way of bringing awareness and care to improving children’s mental health.
The theme this year is ‘This Is My Place’, and we are offering children the opportunity to take charge of their own safe spaces in school. From talking to the children, we understand that break and lunch times are fantastic ways of socialising with their peers, but children have outlined that they would love some more resources to use during these social times.
As part of Children’s Mental Health Week, our Wellbeing Warriors have decided to host a non-uniform day to raise money to buy these resources. On Friday 13th February, which is the last day of term, all children are invited to wear their own clothes for a minimum contribution of £1 on ParentPay. This money will be used to buy new resources and play equipment for KS1 and KS2 playgrounds, including updating the Learning Lodges on the KS2 patio.
