Children’s Mental Health Week 2024

At Bridgewater School, we understand the importance of nurturing not only the academic but also the emotional wellbeing of our students. That is why, during Children’s Mental Health Week, which took place between 5th and 11th February 2024, we focused on empowering our pupils to recognise the value of their voices and the impact they can have on their community and themselves.

The theme for this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week was “My Voice Matters”. Because, when children feel that their voices are heard and can make a difference, it has a profoundly positive effect on their wellbeing and self-esteem.

Throughout the week, whole school activities and PSCHE (Personal, Social, Citizenship and Health Education) lessons centred around this theme. These activities were designed to encourage students to express themselves, think about what was important to them as individuals, share their thoughts and feelings, and recognise the power of their words and actions. From classroom discussions to creative projects, our students had the opportunity to explore topics such as self-expression, empathy and the importance of listening to others.

By fostering a culture of openness, empathy and resilience, together we can create a supportive environment where every child feels heard, valued and empowered to make a difference.

We believe that individuals count. So we are interested in what makes us all different. Not just what makes us the same.
