World Mental Health Day

Our classrooms and outdoor areas have been awash with yellow for The YoungMinds Mental Health Day. At a time when it is needed most, the students, staff and families came together for #HelloYellow to support young people’s mental health ahead of the World Mental Health Day (Saturday, 10th October 2020). By wearing yellow, YoungMinds and DFPA want to show young people that everyone has mental health and that they are not alone if ever they are dealing with overwhelming feelings. Throughout the day on Friday, the children and staff carried out different activities to help them relax, reflect, reply and respond to different situations, scenarios and circumstances. The work carried out on the day, supported and continued the work DFPA carry out weekly during PSHE lessons and daily through our school values and ethos.
