Amber School Flag
The Amber Flag initiative aims to promote positive mental health and well-being for all the children in our school.
Positive mental health and well-being means feeling good in your body and your mind, getting on well with others, feeling grateful for everything you have and feeling proud of the special person that you are. This enables us to lead happy, fulfilling lives.
Stay tuned to watch our journey over the coming school year.
