Thank you to some of our Wellbeing Advocates who decided to run a school wide initiative to spread some festive cheer. Cards and candy canes were delivered to pupils across the school containing messages of positivity, written by friends and classmates. #UppinghamWellbeing

Brilliantly organised by the Wellbeing Advocates!

Thank you to @patrickfoster02 for returning to share his lived experience of gambling, mental health and addiction with our sixth form pupils, as well as delivering a bespoke session for our sports scholars. A speaker that always leaves his audience captivated and inspired!

Rounding off the the half-term with pupils taking their learning outside of the classroom, being with nature and tasked with producing a video in groups to summarise the topics covered in recent times. #UppinghamWellbeing #UppinghamPastoral #ForTheConnected

It was a pleasure to once again host Iain Mahony OU. He talks with such honesty and openness about his life since leaving the school. He shared his story about his addiction to drugs and alcohol as well as his career choices, changing relationships and perspective on masculinity.

Well done to all the Wellbeing Advocates last week on their "Movement" activities as part of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. The boys at @Upp_Farleigh enjoyed their football match. Smiles all round! #UppinghamWellbeing #UppinghamPastoral #ForTheConnected

As part of #OneWorldDay a company called Mingalaba visited the school to deliver a talk on the importance of languages and related it working in the football industry. This was followed by a football coaching session using lots of Spanish 🇪🇸

Pupils have been busy reflecting on the short and long-term impacts of alcohol and drugs in recent weeks as part of their Wellbeing curriculum. This has included keeping up to date with law changes around disposable vapes and the possession of nitrous oxide for recreational use

Lifeskills in West Deyne yesterday saw Vince teach the 4th form how to make a fruit curry! The intended aim is to have 10 recipes up their sleeves.....

And that's a wrap, we finish Wellbeing Week with our Wellbeing Advocates bringing the school community together and leading the hymns in chapel this morning. This week has been packed with initiatives including learning about racial prejudice yesterday evening #ForTheConnected

"it is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognise, accept, and celebrate those differences." Thank you to @Upp_Fairfield for finding and presenting inspirational quotes looking at racial prejudice as part of Wellbeing Week. #UppinghamWellbeing

A huge thank you to our Wellbeing Advocates who came up with some brilliant ideas for Wellbeing Week. They have managed to raise lots of money for charity through the sale of @krispykremeUK doughnuts as well as other activities at break time. #UppinghamWellbeing

During Wellness Week, consider exploring literature with an Anti-Racism theme. These books contain inspiring stories about identity, freedom of expression, racism, and human rights. #UppinghamREADS #UppinghamLibraries

It is Wellbeing Week at Uppingham School! That means our Wellbeing Advocates are busy out on campus enhancing the lives of others. Today we had penalty shootout and beanbag challenges as well as free hugs and meditation Monday. #UppinghamWellbeing #ForTheConnected

#TimeToTalk Day is all about having conversations. But sometimes, speaking to people you know about your mental health can be too tough. And that's ok. Here are some people you can talk to if you'd rather speak to someone you don't know 💙

You don't always need to have your "I'm fine" face on..... Talking about mental health isn’t always easy and sometimes it’s even harder to say how you really feel. But a conversation has the power to change lives. #TimeToTalkDay

A huge thank you to @_satveernijjar for delivering a talk to our sixth form pupils on Mental Health Awareness this week. Our pupils have been studying about mental health and resilience with the aim of broadening knowledge and reducing stigma.

Our 30 Wellbeing Advocates are busy with their training day - team building, learning about looking after themselves and others, and some Anatomy Coaching. #UppinghamWellbeing #UppinghamPastoral #AnatomyCoaching
