Welcome Welcome to the first edition of the LETSS Wellbeing Newsletter. This publication coincides with Active Schools and Wellbeing Week which is taking place in school from Monday 29th April to Friday 3rd May 2024. The LETSS Wellbeing Newsletter showcases and celebrates the various initiatives and events which have taken place this year in our school. As a school, we place student wellbeing at the centre of all that we do in LETSS. In September 2023, our school was recognised for its efforts in promoting positive mental health and wellbeing at whole school level by being awarded it’s One Good School Status by Jigsaw. As you peruse this newsletter, you will see at first hand the enormous efforts taken by staff and students to ensure that student wellbeing and positive mental health is championed across the many facets of school life in LETSS. I with to thank Catherine O’Connor and the Wellbeing team for all the work that goes into coordinating our Wellbeing Programme in school. It has been a community effort involving various subject departments, extra-curricular activities, focus groups, break time and lunchtime clubs and so much more. Well done everyone.
