Children's Mental Health Week 2026
4th Feb 2026
Dear Parents,
Next week we will be celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week in school. This is a really important week for our pupils, focusing on wellbeing, positivity and having fun together, and we have a wide range of activities planned across the week.
Highlights include:
- No homework all week for all pupils
- Special treats such as buns for pupils, a Valentine’s Disco, and an ice cream van
- A variety of sports, dance and wellbeing activities, including football, Gaelic games, Zumba and Relax Kids sessions
- Creative and digital activities, including Digi Duck, Art competition and a trip to an Art Gallery
- Non Uniform Day on Wednesday – pupils are encouraged to wear bright colours
A full breakdown of activities for each day and class group can be found on the attached Children’s Mental Health Week poster.
Important reminders:
- On Wednesday morning, pupils taking part in Relax Kids sessions are asked to bring a small blanket.
We are really looking forward to a fun, positive and memorable week for all our pupils and appreciate your continued support.
Many thanks,
Mr. M Gilmore
