World Mental Health Day 2024

We are supporting and raising awareness of World Mental Health Day at Balshaw’s on Thursday 10^th October.

There is already so much amazing guidance in school to ensure that our students and staff have the best possible mental health support, show the children how to feel resilient and able to speak out about their vulnerabilities. 

We have a Whole School Approach to mental health that allows us to embed support throughout the school.

Year 7 will be taking part in an activity during tutor time too.

Our staff, including Rosie our Emotional Support dog, have been asked to wear yellow in support of the Young Minds #HelloYellow campaign. Rosie can be seen wearing her jaunty yellow scarf, in 2023, above.

We will be having the Mental Health Foundation 'Tea & Talk' time for our staff, which will be hosted by Miss Kimberley, our Mental Health Pastoral Manager.
