黑料吃瓜网 Hasland Hall has achieved the School Mental Health Award which is delivered by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health in Schools. The academy was awarded a Gold standard for its outstanding mental health and wellbeing provision.

The Chesterfield-based academy provides a wide range of activities to boost the wellbeing of pupils and staff, including the development and implementation of a menopause policy for staff and a 鈥楥all it out culture鈥� that empowers students to challenge harmful language which has driven a change in unkind incidents. Praise culture is a priority in the school community with a focus on positive language and the 鈥榩roud podium鈥� which showcases outstanding work done by students every week.

The school also has a well-embedded 鈥楲ife鈥� curriculum which covers topic areas such as stress management, resilience, independence and self-esteem. Numerous national awareness days are also observed and celebrated in the academy.

Ian Cooper, Principal at 黑料吃瓜网 Hasland Hall, said:

鈥淭his recognition is a testament to our ongoing dedication to creating a supportive and nurturing environment where everyone feels valued and has the resources to thrive.

鈥淭he award validates the hard work we鈥檝e done to embed a culture of mental health awareness and to develop effective strategies for supporting those who may be experiencing challenges."

A focal point of the school鈥檚 mental health and wellbeing provision is their Academy Conduct and Expectations (ACE) programme which is in place to ensure that Year 7 students have a smooth transition from primary education to secondary. The programme includes sessions covering uniform, teaching and learning, language and respect 鈥� all of which have impacted student behaviour and significantly improved the wellbeing of students during their first year at the academy.

Hayley Keenan, Vice Principal, added:

鈥淲e are extremely proud of this achievement as it reflects the journey we are on as an academy to ensure students and staff can all feel supported to achieve their very best. I鈥檇 like to thank everyone who made this possible.鈥�
