How we're addressing mental health and wellbeing

We're passionate about creating a culture of positive wellbeing and mental health and are committed to working together with teachers and senior leaders to help build healthy, calm and happy schools.

Together we can drive positive change, encourage conversation, and create an environment that fosters wellbeing for pupils as well as staff.

Looking for immediate help and support?

If you feel that you or someone you know (be they a parent, child, teacher or young person) are at immediate risk of causing harm to themselves or others, it’s important to seek immediate professional help by calling 999.  

However you or someone you know might be feeling or going through, it’s important to know you’re not alone. There’s lots of information and support services in the UK to help.

Education Support

There can be many stresses on those who work in education - a challenging student, stress & depression, personal financial worries and so many more. That’s why Education Support offers free, confidential help and support.

  • English matters - the MAT perspective

    We were delighted to welcome English leads from Multi Academy Trusts across the country last month to discuss the future of GCSE English.

    Whilst the hottest day of the year meant a quick change from in-person to online, the session was packed full of insightful conversations around the challenges and opportunities facing GCSE English in the months and years ahead. 

  • A new chapter for GCSE English

    What happens when a teenager finishes a great book? If they’re lucky, they find another. But for too many, that’s where the story ends. They hit a wall. In fact, when we surveyed more than 1,000 students aged 13–16* about their reading habits, "I can’t find a book I like" was one of the biggest barriers to reading.

    It’s not a capability issue. Students are confident readers (scoring themselves an average of 3.5 out of 5). It’s a connection issue.

    Earlier this year, we launched This is Lit, a new book club designed to celebrate the best of 21st-century literature during The National Year of Reading 2026. Alongside the launch, we explored what makes today's teenagers tick when it comes to books. What we found provides a different perspective on how we think about student disengagement.

  • AI Awareness Day: supporting AI literacy in schools

    Reading time: 3 minute

    Schools across the country are helping students think critically, connect ideas and apply what they know. In an AI-driven world, these skills matter more than ever. With this in mind, AI Awareness Day gives schools a way to build AI literacy: “to know AI, question it, and use it wisely”.
