Mental Wellbeing Workshop - Friday 7th February, 9am

We are excited to invite you to an engaging workshop focused on supporting our children's mental health and well-being. Join us on Friday 7th February at 9am, as we explore how we use the RULER framework at school, a fantastic tool that helps children understand and manage their emotions effectively. We’ll also discuss the interventions in place aimed at tackling anxiety and boosting self-esteem among our students. Moreover, we'll delve into the impact of gender stereotypes on children’s mental health, as these societal pressures can significantly affect their emotional development. This is a great opportunity to learn more about our approaches and how you can support your child's well-being at home.

Please let us know you'll be attending by completing this form: Mental Wellbeing Workshop
