💙 Children’s Mental Health Week 💙

Today's question: What steps are we taking to support pupils' mental health?

From nurture groups to Zones of Regulation, our schools embed wellbeing in daily practice. 🌱 Our schools lead the way in resilience & emotional support. 🧠✨

[Our Community Multi-Academy Trust @OCMATtrust]

Children’s Mental Health Week helps validate feelings, support wellbeing & promote inclusivity. With rising mental health challenges, we’ve increased staff training to offer better support.

This week raises awareness & encourages compassion among pupils. Mental health matters!

In Beech class, we have enjoyed learning about fossils and even got a chance to experience the whole process in fast forward motion: from burying an animal in layers of soil to watching it become sediment over time, to finally uncovering their remains and incredible fossils!
