We have been working hard to develop our Mental Health Offer in school ensuring that our curriculum and culture are strong as well as being able to offer additional opportunities through the Connect Mental Health Team.
The development of our school mental health offer has been a team effort with pupils, staff and parents along with the Connect Mental Health Team and Darrin our school Counsellor working under the guidance of Mrs MacDonald our School Mental Health Lead.
We were delighted to learn from Leeds Beckett University today that following accreditation, St Mary's Catholic Primary School has been awarded the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health in Schools ‘School Mental Health Award’ – Bronze Status in partnership with North East Combined Authority. - A wonderful way to end our ‘Healthy Week’.
A huge thank you to Mrs MacDonald for leading on Mental Health and well being in our school and for all the work it took to complete the application for this award. We are very grateful for all your work and as a school so proud to hold this award.
