Dear Parents / Carers

I do hope that Hello Yellow Day finds you all in good health.

As you know, we have had an amazing Sports Day and been raising awareness of young people’s mental health today, by everyone being encouraged to wear something yellow and taking part in a whole day of sporting activities.  The students have been amazing and taken part brilliantly.

West Sussex County Council have sent out a link to schools to share with students and parents regarding emotional wellbeing and mental health and which is below, so please click on the link below to access help and advice.
