The superb Mrs Gordon (our fab Student Well-being Practitioner) met with our equally fab Adult Mentors today, to share ideas on how best to support our students with mental health and well-being. What a brilliant team they make, and such super support for our young people.

This week’s Philosophy Film Club went deep as always. We used @aardman ‘s #earlyman to discuss and explore different views on the origins of life and the universe, and how and why people might hold different views. Part 2, next week! @IntoFilmSW

Fantastic session with @kdequalities this PM, shining a spotlight on mental health for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek We explored what makes good mental health & how to spot when we/another needs support. Such great input - we only made it through 1/2 a session! To be continued...

@kingdownschool On Tuesday afternoon, our fab @kdequalities team will be holding a spotlight session to look at the history of mental health support in the UK and around the world. See you in S22 at 3 - sweet treats provided (which I always think are good for my mental health!)
