Thank you so much for joining us, what a great day! ❤️
A huge thank you to KES Lichfield Newsfeed Lichfield for the invite to today’s Wellbeing Event. It was a privilege to be part of such an inspiring day and to be in a room filled with so many dedicated professionals and organisations who work tirelessly to support the wellbeing of young people both in and outside of school.
A special mention must go to the students, who absolutely blew us away with their creativity, passion, and commitment. Year 7, you should be incredibly proud of the time, effort, and thought you put into creating your wonderful worry ducks. Your creativity and understanding of how small acts can make a big difference was truly amazing.
It was brilliant to see students championing LGBTQ+ support, creating thoughtful worry jars, and sharing so many meaningful ideas designed to promote kindness, acceptance, and positive mental wellbeing.
Just Dance team wow 😲 😲 😲 getting everyone involved amazing 😍
And of course, we can’t forget the amazing tortoise 🐢 — I didn’t manage to get a photo this time, but there’s always next time!
A huge well done to every student, member of staff, volunteer, and professional who contributed to making today such a success. Events like these highlight the power of collaboration and show just how much can be achieved when we work together to support and nurture students.
Feeling inspired to have been part of such a positive and uplifting day. 💙 :::
To all the young people I met please get in touch to support more events like this over the Summer 🌞🌞🌞.

Year 9 students teamed up with local artist Steve "graffoflarge" Edwards to design a sculpture for The Staffy Trail!
Their detailed stencils, inspired by the local area and combined with Steve’s signature street‑art style, have been transformed into Birdie Boy — now proudly on display outside St Editha’s Church, Tamworth.
Go take a look — it’s brilliant.
