Mental Health Awareness Week | Turning Awareness into Action

At Kingsway Park High School, we are continuing our focus on Mental Health Awareness Week and this year’s theme: ACTION

But what does action really mean?
Action is not separate from awareness – it is what naturally follows it. When we learn more about mental health, recognise early signs of difficulty in ourselves or others, and understand where to find support, we are already taking action.

Action doesn’t have to be big
In fact, some of the most powerful actions are small and part of our everyday lives.
These can include:
- Talking to someone you trust
- Checking in on a friend
- Taking a short walk or fresh air break
- Pausing to breathe and reset
Small, consistent actions like these can build stronger wellbeing over time and help us feel more in control, especially during challenging moments.

Action for yourself
We all have the ability to support our own mental health. Simple routines such as getting enough sleep, eating well, moving your body, or practising calming techniques can make a real difference to how we feel day to day.

Action for others
Sometimes action is simply showing kindness. A conversation, a smile, or listening without judgement can make a real difference to someone who may be struggling. Small moments of connection matter more than we realise.

Action for the bigger picture
Action also means helping to create a community where mental health is understood, supported, and valued—both in school and beyond.

At Kingsway Park High School, we believe that when we act together, we build a stronger, kinder community.
This week let’s turn awareness into action—one step at a time.

Proposed Changes to the School Day at KPHS

In this video, our Headteacher explains the proposed changes to the school day, including a slightly later start time and small adjustments to break and lunchtime while keeping the same amount of learning time.
The message outlines why these changes are being considered and how they could support improvements in attendance, punctuality, behaviour, and the overall experience for students and staff.
Families are encouraged to watch and read the full letter and share their views as part of the consultation process. The full letter can be found here: https://kingswaypark.org/37/letters-to-parents

Mental Health Awareness Week | 11–17 May 2026

At Kingsway Park High School, we are proud to be supporting Mental Health Awareness Week, taking place 11th–17th May 2026.
This year’s national theme is ACTION – because awareness alone isn’t enough. It’s about taking positive steps to support our mental health and wellbeing every day.
As a school, we are also focusing on our own theme: “We Cooperate”
Because while individual actions matter, we are even stronger when we come together, support one another, and work as a community.

Why is this so important?
According to NHS England:
▸1 in 5 children aged 8–16 have a probable mental health disorder
▸Eating disorders affect 12.5% of 17–19 year olds
▸Suicide remains the leading cause of death for 5–35 year olds in England
▸Almost a third of 13–24 year olds have self-harmed or attempted self-harm

According to Young Minds:
▸30% of 11–16 year olds with a probable mental health disorder miss a week or more of school
▸Over half of all mental health conditions begin before the age of 14
These figures remind us why talking about mental health, supporting each other, and acting truly matters.

This week is about:
▸Speaking up and checking in with others
▸Taking positive action for your own wellbeing
▸Supporting a culture of kindness, cooperation, and understanding

Together at Kingsway Park High School, we can make a difference.

A Special Moment for Our Year 11s

Today was a truly special moment at Kingsway Park High School as each Year 11 student received a personalised letter from a member of staff during a dedicated assembly.

The PROUD Letter initiative once again proved to be one of the most emotional and meaningful events of the year, as staff reflected on the journeys our students have taken, celebrated their achievements, and shared heartfelt words of encouragement for the future.

There were smiles, tears, laughter and countless proud moments as students read messages written especially for them by staff who have supported them throughout their time at Kingsway.
Students were also reminded that success is not always easy, and that even the most successful people need support along the way. Through inspiring videos and messages, they were encouraged to believe in themselves, ask for help when needed, and recognise that feeling nervous is completely normal — it simply shows how much they care.

“The Kingsway, the way that we do things around here” continues to define our school community, and today was another powerful reminder of the care, encouragement and support our students receive every day.
We are incredibly proud of our Year 11 cohort and everything they will go on to achieve.

Good luck to all Year 11 students as they begin their GCSE exams — we know you will do yourselves proud! 🌟

Exceptional Student Work

We’re delighted to share some outstanding GCSE French writing from our Year 10 students Mariam and Zaid at Kingsway Park High School.
Both students have produced work that shows impressive variety, increasingly complex structures, and a clear application of exam techniques under timed conditions. Their progress reflects real focus, resilience, and a willingness to act on feedback to improve.
While accuracy will continue to develop with practice, their ambition and effort are already shining through in the quality of their work.
Well, done Mariam and Zaid — a fantastic example of what can be achieved with dedication and hard work!

Our Year 10 students recently took part in an exciting Maths Challenge event at Rochdale Sixth Form College!

The day was packed with engaging activities designed to build confidence and strengthen problem-solving skills, while also highlighting the many future opportunities that Maths can offer. Students were supported throughout by inspiring student ambassadors, who shared their experiences of studying Maths beyond GCSE.
A key message of the day was to encourage pupils to consider continuing Maths at A Level — including both Maths and Further Maths — and to explore the wide range of careers this can lead to.
The event finished with the RSFC Maths Challenge, where our team competed against other schools in a fun and fast-paced competition. Although we didn’t take the top spot this time, our students showed fantastic teamwork, resilience, and enthusiasm throughout the day.
We are incredibly proud of their effort and the way they represented our school! 👏
