Dress to Express for Children's Mental Health Week
Our Heads and Deputies have chosen to raise awareness of Children's Mental Health during Children's Mental Health Week w/c 3rd February and they will be leading a special worship linked to the new Inside Out 2 film. They would love all children and staff to come dressed in clothes that express themselves as an individual e.g. their favourite colour, hobbies etc This year, Children's Mental Health Week is focusing on Know Yourself, Grow Yourself. We want Children’s Mental Health Week 2025 to encourage our children to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means to them. This will help them grow and develop resilience to cope with what life throws at them.
