In February, our Assistant Leader of Sixth Form, Mr Franklin, and Year 12 student, Khaya M, led an assembly for Year 11 boys about looking after their mental health and some of the barriers that males can experience.

Students were advised who to go to for support and which agencies they could contact if they didn't want to speak to an adult in school. Thank you to Miss Wilson-Jones for organising this.

Year 11 boys also received some follow-up sessions in their friendship groups around their mental health concerns and specific strategies to consider. Thank you to all of the staff who kindly volunteered to lead these sessions.
