Actions this year will include:
- Strengthening our pupil voice through our Young Leaders and Happiness and Safeguarding Heroes to help reflect on and develop our values and curriculum.
- Increasing awareness and signposting of our Mental Health and Wellbeing provision to further develop our ability to support.
- Continuing our commitment to training colleagues to complement their existing professional development in Mental Health and Wellbeing.
- Increasing parent engagement through workshops, meet the teacher presentations, newsletters and additional use of the myHappymind parent app to support their families at home.
- Renewed commitment to myHappymind+ to cover the entire PHSE curriculum and the pursuit of Silver Accreditation to demonstrate delivery of high-quality Mental Health and Wellbeing provision across our school.
