This week, our mental health champions have begun the project phase of their training, focusing on developing ways to support our Year 7 and 8 students, who may be experiencing worries with friendship, finding it tricky to settle into school, or simply needing a little extra support and someone to talk to.

The aim is to provide a friendly, relaxed space where students can spend some time with a Year 9/ 10 Mental Health Champion, whether that’s through playing a game, having a chat or simply taking some time out of their day.

This is a lovely opportunity for our younger students to build connections with older peers, feel listened to and access a little extra support in a friendly, welcoming environment

YEAR 7/8 DISTRICT FOOTBALL – RUNNERS-UP!

A fantastic performance from our Year 7/8 girls’ football team as they welcomed other schools to Latimer for the district finals!

The girls worked incredibly hard throughout the tournament, showing great teamwork and creating some excellent attacking opportunities. They won all of their games apart from one closely contested match against KBA, finishing as overall runners-up!

Well done, girls! You should be incredibly proud of your performance, teamwork and determination. A brilliant achievement!
