Throughout the final week of the Spring 1 half-term, our Senior Students in the Positivity and Resilience team devised a week of activities, including a viewing of Inside Out 2; a great way to understand how the brain works and what happens when different emotions develop, such as anxiety. We have also had a “Can’t Do Yet” wall which was open to everyone in school to post what they can’t do yet to continue promoting and modelling a growth mindset.

From the half-termly tutor time drop-ins that took place, a short video was made full of positive affirmations with students from Years 7 to 13 all sharing encouraging messages to each other. The week culminated in every form group taking part in a live Wellbeing Kahoot quiz which quizzed our community on the assemblies that have been delivered by the team this year, as well as some wider mental health facts.

It has been a great week to have an extra focus on wellbeing with so many students being actively involved.
