Staff brought a burst of colour into the classroom as part of a day raising awareness of mental health.
Highfields supported the #HelloYellow campaign to support young people’s mental health on World Mental Health Day.
The national event was run by charity, Young Minds, which fights for young people’s mental health - especially during the coronavirus pandemic.
All staff wore an item of yellow clothing and brought in fun props, while members of the school’s Safeguarding Team produced an assembly to raise awareness of the campaign and highlight the support available for anyone struggling with their mental health.
Mrs A Bates, the school’s Safeguarding Lead, said: “Hello Yellow Day gave us the chance to highlight to students the importance of looking after our mental health and looking out for each other.
“All members of staff wore yellow to raise awareness of the campaign and all students watched an assembly that had been specially produced to show them the support that is available to them all.
“We also had posters displayed on digital screens around school and on staff and student laptops."
