World Mental Health Day - Hello Yellow

Our school has been taking part in Hello Yellow (World Mental Health Day) today to raise awareness for YoungMinds, the UK’s leading charity for young people’s mental health. No young person should feel alone with their mental health and that’s why Hello Yellow matters. We’re took this opportunity as a school community to come

together and show our pupils that we’re with them and they’re never alone with their mental health.

Children were invited to wear a yellow accessory to school, alongside their normal school uniform and throughout the week, children have been learning how, as a school, we promote good mental health and coping strategies for when times can be tricky!

Pupil Voice & Leadership Roles

Following lots of impressive written applications, Year 7 children have now been appointed the roles of Prefect, House Captain, Sports Captain and Sports Leader. During a whole school assembly, the roles were announced and the children received their special lanyards to wear throughout the year. The children are incredibly excited and we look forward to seeing the impact they have this year. Children in all year groups have also been elected for the many Pupil Voice roles across school, including members of our Westacre Parliament this year. Well done to everyone elected and good luck with your roles this year!

Head Boy and Girl

Here are Head Boy George and Head Girl Elsie. They have been chosen to take on these vitally important roles for the 2025/26 school year. They will work alongside the other MPs in the Westacre Parliament but will also work closely with Mrs Evans, Mrs Doolin and Mr Barber in making important decisions about school life. Well done Elsie and George for your appointment - we are sure you will be amazing role models this year!
