Mental Health Champions
We are excited to introduce our Mental Health Champions, a dedicated team focused on promoting and supporting children’s mental health throughout the school. Together, we’re exploring innovative and practical ways to create an environment where every child feels safe, valued, and empowered to talk about their feelings. From raising awareness to fostering a culture of kindness and resilience, our goal is to ensure mental well-being is at the heart of our school community.
Our Mental Health Champions 2025-2026
Autumn 2025-2026
During the Autumn term, our Mental Health Champions have been busy supporting wellbeing across the school and the wider community. They designed informative and creative posters to promote a toy collection for Kidsstuff, a charity that provides toys for children in need at Christmas. The champions also discussed ways to support children on the playground, we came up with the idea of creating a friendship bench where children can go to if they need a friend. In addition, they shared ideas for Children’s Mental Health Week in Spring, exploring how fitness and physical activity can play an important role in supporting positive mental health.
Spring Meetings
The Mental Health Champions have been working alongside The School Council to support friendships on the play ground. We have decided that we will create a friendship bench which will be used like a bus stop! When a child sits on the bench, it will show that they would like someone to play with and their classmates will invite them to join in with their play.
The children thought this would be a great way to develop new friendships!

All money raised will support wellbeing activities for the children with a portion donated to Mind charity. Check back later in the week to see the highlights. We look forward to a fun and meaningful week ahead!
