This May (5–22 May), you can take simple, positive action to support whole school mental wellbeing by taking part in the Robin Walks Notts Challenge, delivered in collaboration with Walk Notts. Linking nicely with Mental Health Awareness Week (11–17 May), this free challenge uses walking and everyday movement to help pupils feel calmer, more confident, and ready to learn. As part of the Achieve Well Challenges, you log active minutes online and use short, story-based weekly slides to turn movement into meaningful conversations about mental health awareness.
If that sounds great, click here to register your interest!

Public Health have commissioned the Pupil Health and Wellbeing Survey for another 4 years. The survey gives schools a snapshot of the health related behaviours of groups of children in their school to inform the planning of PSHE, health and wellbeing activities and support.
Reports from last year's survey were sent out to schools last week. You can sign up for next year's survey here.
We want to ensure the survey is meeting your needs. To help us improve the survey, please complete this short feedback form. The survey has questions for both schools that have completed previously and those that haven't.
