Dear Parents/Carers 

As you may be aware, the week beginning 15th May is Mental Health Awareness Week.  We will be doing various activities with the students throughout the week, culminating in ‘Wear Green Day’ on Friday 19h May to raise awareness and money for the mental health charity Young Minds.

We ask that students to contribute £1 on the day and wear an item or combination of items that are green from the following list: 

• Green socks 
• Green shirt 
• Green hat  
• Green tie 
• Green jumper 

Students will still need to be in full school uniform (blazer, tie, trousers, shoes etc) and will not be permitted to have face paint, trainers, or hoodies. 

For further information on Mental Health Awareness Week 2023, please visit this website https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/our-work/public-engagement/mental-health-awareness-week. Staff will also be taking part and contributing to this event, and we will be sharing our activities and photos on the school website and social media pages.  We hope that you and your children will support us in our promotion of such an important event. 

Yours faithfully, 

Ms H Elliott
