We supported World Mental Health Day with a number of events and activities.

- **Odd Socks Day:** Students and staff are invited to wear odd socks today to celebrate and promote inclusivity across our school community. Photos of all the snazzy socks will be available soon!

- **Tea & Talk:** We held a *Tea and Talk* sessions for staff. There were cakes to enjoy and money raised will be donated to St Catherine’s Hospice by the staff who enjoyed the delicious bakes on offer
- **Student Assemblies:** Throughout the days, children attended assemblies to learn more about the importance of mental health and the brilliant support offered by Compass Bloom, our external partner helping children manage worries and low-level mental health concerns
