#HelloYellow

1 October 2021

Dear Parent/Carer, 

You may be aware that Young Minds are having their annual #HelloYellow campaign on World Mental Health Day on Friday 8 October 2021. As well as taking the opportunity to learn more about positive mental wellbeing we are inviting students and staff to attend the Academy wearing a yellow top or accessory. It is hoped that most, if not all students will get involved in the spirit of the day.  All other uniform rules still apply as normal. This is not a non-uniform day. 

You can find more information about Young Minds https://www.youngminds.org.uk/ 

If you wish to make a contribution to our charity collection for Young Minds, you may do so via https://www.ipayimpact.co.uk/IPI/Account/LogOn

All students will be attending assemblies during the week which are focused on positive mental health and the benefits of this; hopefully this will be something that you and your child can talk about after assemblies have taken place.

Please take some time to discuss the importance of maintaining excellent standards of behaviour as always with your child; nothing changes in this respect. If the students make this a success, it means events such as this are far more likely to be approved in the future.  Some of the anticipated 'Frequently Asked Questions' are addressed overleaf. 

Yours sincerely,
