Just over a month has passed since our students returned to ‘remote’ School and all our students have engaged incredibly well and should be proud of all that they have achieved. This term has not been easy, but the adaptability and resilience of our students and staff alike, are a credit to the School and the wider community. Despite not being here in the physical, we are still very much the School community, just in the cloud! This volume of Outside the Box includes a number of new resources to help with e-Safety as well as focusing on the fantastic work that has been undertaken this week as part of Children’s Mental Health Week. A lot of work has been done over this half term to focus on positive mental health and wellbeing. We have also been working on breaking down the stigmas that fall around conversations about mental health. The Anna Freud Centre also do a lot of work with this too. The message is clear, we all have mental health, and it is just as important as our physical health, so we must ensure that we do things to help look after it every day.
