Mr Atkinson is our new Mental Health Lead.

This is what he said.

Ensuring that our whole school community is healthy and happy is very important, and mental health is a vital element of this. At St Paul’s I am the mental health lead professional and I am also part of the wider school inclusion team.

We are constantly seeking ways to promote the mental health and wellbeing of everyone in our school community by delivering whole school programmes to promote mental health and wellbeing as well as bespoke interventions to develop children’s mental stamina and happiness.

Mental health issues affect 1 in 6 of the population and at St Paul’s we aim to have an, open, supportive environment to support our community and ensure that we have a healthy, happy school.
