We are pleased to share that our application for the reaccreditation of our AcSEED award has been successful. The AcSEED award is a quality assurance mark presented to schools that have made a substantial effort to support the mental health of their students as well as the emotional wellbeing of both staff and students. As a school, we have to show evidence of how we meet a set of standard criteria in order for us to receive and renew the award. The AcSEED review team shared that they were particularly impressed with our more recent changes including:

• The expansion of our pastoral team to include Mrs Aver-Howdle
• The increased provision of our PSHE curriculum to Year 13
• Furthering our wellbeing initiatives for both staff and students including new Crafternoon sessions and access to school counselling for students

Our wellbeing team continues to work closely with Rosie, our Deputy Head Girl for Health and Wellbeing, who has been instrumental in the organisation of many of the strategies we employ in school. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to publicly thank her for all her efforts in raising awareness of wellbeing within school
