Last term we held a Growing Together poster competition for Key Stage 3 students. This was part of Children’s Mental Health week and we asked our young people to consider their own growth.
Anxiety is a feeling of worry or fear that is experienced as a combination of physical sensations, thoughts and feelings.

Staff are invited to nominate students who have demonstrated a Growth Mindset in the past few weeks. This might have been in lessons, in clubs, in tutor time or simply around school. Please note we already award bi-annual subject badges and merits for good academic work, effort and improvement. These Growth Mindset nominations recognise those who show resilience (academic or otherwise); who aren’t afraid to get things wrong and learn from it; those who have a go, take themselves out of their comfort zone or show that even if a task is tough they will persevere.
Nationally there has been a 77% rise in the number of children needing specialist treatment for severe mental health crisis, the BBC reported last week [Children's mental health: Huge rise in severe cases, BBC analysis reveals - BBC News].

This year we are inviting a small group of students from Years 9 and 10 to shadow the judging process of the prestigious Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Children’s Book Award.
