We held a wellbeing week at Riddlesdown Collegiate the week before February half term. Students discussed issues relating to mental health and wellbeing and also the importance of being able to express yourself. On the final day before half term, students were able to wear a top that enabled them to express themselves. There were many varieties of brands, football kits, home-made tops, and it was wonderful to listen to the stories behind the choice of top.

On the final day before half term, we held a cake bake sale and raised over £1400 for a local charity. Students will identify a number of charities to donate our collective funds to at the end of the academic year. Watch this space for more news on this.
