Exwick Heights Primary School is delighted to share that it has received the Bronze Mental Health Charter Mark, highlighting the school’s exceptional dedication to promoting the mental health and wellbeing of both students and staff.

The Mental Health Charter Mark acknowledges schools that place a strong emphasis on children’s emotional wellbeing, recognising that positive mental health is vital for developing resilience and managing life’s challenges.

From September, the school  will also be introducing a dedicated mental health curriculum. This will further strengthen their approach to supporting pupil mental health and ensure every child learns the tools and language to talk about, understand and manage their mental wellbeing.

All schools in the Ted Wragg Trust, which Exwick Heights is a part of, are undertaking the Mental Health Charter Mark and St Luke's Church of England School, Isca Academy and Marine Academy Primary have all also received the Bronze Award already. 

Mrs Gemma Wills, Headteacher at Exwick Heights Primary School said:

“We’re incredibly proud to receive the Bronze Mental Health Charter Mark. Supporting our pupils’ and staff’s wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do, and our new mental health curriculum will help empower every child to understand and manage their emotions with confidence.”

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust said:

“The Ted Wragg Trust is committed to nurturing the mental health of our students and staff across all our schools. Exwick Heights’ achievement is a testament to their dedication, and we look forward to seeing how their new curriculum continues to support young people’s resilience and wellbeing.”
