Christmas can be one of the most stressful times for many people. With the cost of living up; many of us feel overwhelmed by the Christmas season. We have invited someone from the NHS into school this Friday 8th to help us to understand good mental health. We all have it but sometimes it looks good and othertimes not so good. Maybe you look after someone whose mental health isn't great. Maybe you are worried about yourself, your child, a neighbour even! Maybe you are just interested! Join us for some mince pies and to learn ways to keep on top of our mental health and the things that affect it. Meet at the school office at 2pm. See you there!

We are a ‘Telling School’. That means we speak out against bullying.

We say NO to bullying!

Anti Bullying Week 2023 At Old Hall Drive Academy we have a zero tolerance to bullying.
