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!

Support for Parents & Carers – Workshops

Kingsway Park High School is sharing upcoming workshops from Rochdale Parent Carers Voice (RPCV).

Rochdale Parent Carers Voice began in 2003, led by a small group of parent carers. Today, the forum brings together parents and carers of children and young people with SEND to create positive change based on lived experiences.
They work closely with families to understand what matters most and to ensure services across Rochdale, Heywood, Pennines and Middleton meet their needs. RPCV also partners with local authorities, schools and health providers—highlighting what works well and challenging where improvements are needed.
Please see the flyer for full details and booking information.

🎥 Respect at Kingsway: Why It Matters

This week’s video is about the importance of respect across our school community. Our Headteacher explains what respect looks like in everyday school life, from how students speak and behave with others to taking pride in our school environment.
Respect is a key part of the Kingsway way of doing things, and it helps us create a positive, safe, and supportive place for everyone to learn.
We would value your support in talking with your children about how they can show respect every day at school and help make Kingsway the best it can be.
