Every year, thousands of schools, companies and communities come together to make World Mental Health Day that little bit brighter by wearing something yellow and donating to YoungMinds. 

Right now, the world is a really tough place for children and young people to grow up in. We want young people to know that they don’t have to go through this alone. Things can get better.  

This World Mental Health Day, wear yellow with thousands of others across the UK and raise money to show young people that they’re not alone with their mental health. 

Because we stand brighter, together.  

At Reedham Primary and Nursery School we are very aware of the daily demands placed on our pupils and their families, therefore we are committed to the wellbeing of all our pupils, parents and staff.  Covid-19 has had an impact on our wellbeing.  We are working hard to ensure that despite this our children still have opportunities to flourish. 

There is a lot in the news about mental illness but if we can encourage our pupils to become resilient, have high self esteem, to be able to share how they feel and to be open-minded, we can help to keep our pupils mentally well.

We work closely with Cambridgeshire NHS Mental Health team to support families with mental health and wellbeing. Speak to Mrs Bethell or Miss Spaul if you are concerned about your child’s wellbeing.
