Carnegie Centre of Excellence Award
We were recently delighted to receive a silver award for work around mental health over the past couple of years.
We have achieved the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health in Schools ‘School Mental Health Award’ – Silver Status.
Embedded within the RS curriculum at KS3 this year have been opportunities for all our pupils to reflect on how to keep their mind healthy.
