Research suggests that 1 in 5 children are recognising their need for support with mental health. At Bloxwich Academy, we recognise the importance of educating pupils about their ability to acknowledge, seek support and where to get assistance with their mental health.

Place2Be’s Children’s Mental Health Week will take place from Monday 3rd February to Sunday 9th February. This years theme is “Know Yourself, Grow Yourself” and is in partnership with Here4You and Disney. Children across the UK are being encouraged to discover how getting to know who they are can help them build resilience, grow and develop. During this week, and beyond, pupils will be taking part in assemblies, form time activities and discussions to support their mental health.
