Amber Flag

Our school is proud to have been awarded the Amber Flag every year since 2021, in recognition of our ongoing commitment to promoting positive mental health and wellbeing. This achievement reflects the dedication and teamwork of our whole school community; students, staff, and parents , who embody the values of our ETB ethos, fostering respect, care, inclusion, and equality for all.

Our Amber Flag Team plays a vital role in promoting wellbeing throughout the school. Through a range of creative initiatives including fun activities, awareness campaigns, and special events, the team encourages kindness, connection, and open, honest conversations about mental health. Events such as wellbeing weeks, gratitude walls, and mindfulness challenges invite everyone to take time to reflect, support one another, and celebrate positive mental health in everyday life.

By working together, we aim to build a school culture where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential. The Amber Flag reminds us that wellbeing is a shared responsibility and that small acts of compassion can make a lasting impact. We are extremely proud of our students and staff for living out the ETB ethos through their ongoing commitment to caring for themselves and others.
