Mental Health Week 2026

This week is Children’s Mental Health Week 2026. This year’s theme is ‘This is My Place’. We know that our sense of belonging as individuals, in our friendships, in school, and in communities plays a vital role in our mental health and wellbeing. To know our place and really feel part of our environment is a basic human need. It can have powerful and long-lasting impacts in lots of areas of our lives, including our physical and mental health, education, employment and relationships. When we feel that we belong, it empowers us to contribute to the world and make a real difference.

This year, we will focus on our school community continuing to be an inclusive and nurturing environment, where pupils feel they belong and can say, “This is My Place”. Within class, we will be exploring wonderful activities related to this during our usual PSHE lessons.
