CARNEGIE SCHOOL MENTAL HEALTH AWARD (GOLD STATUS) - W/C 16/12/24

The Department for Education recognises the direct link between positive mental health in schools and successful educational outcomes; the School Mental Health Award builds on this link and provides a framework for educational institutions to evidence policies and initiatives that work towards improving emotional health and wellbeing for both staff and students.

At the end of December 2025, we were awarded The School Mental Health Award, delivered by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health in Schools, at the coveted Gold standard for our outstanding mental health and wellbeing provision.
