The Wellbeing Award for schools is an award that recognises a school’s efforts to promote and protect positive emotional wellbeing and mental health education and support. The award requires us to develop an action plan to consciously recognise what we currently do and offer additional opportunities to support and promote mental health and wellbeing. We are leading the process and the ‘Change Team’ to help embed and promote positive mental health and wellbeing across the school community.
