Today the sixth form have marked World Mental Health Day, which is on Sunday, by wearing yellow and raising money for the Young Minds Charity.

Students and staff have worn yellow clothes, decorated the building with yellow bunting and had a yellow themed bake sale to raise money for this great cause.

The sixth form have recently set up a Mental Health Mentoring Team consisting of six mentors and two prefects. They have received training from our school counsellor and will be setting up support rooms across the school for students to drop in to if they have specific mental health concerns or are simply feeling in need of someone nearer their own age to talk to. The team are going to be working towards making conversations about mental illness as normal as those about physical illness.
