LVS Hassocks gets National Mental Health and Wellbeing Accreditation for second year running

The accreditation is from The National College, the streaming home for high-quality professional development for schools.

LVS Hassocks principal Jen Weeks said “Mental health support has been a huge focus at LVS Hassocks over the past few years and is a key priority on our school development plan.

“In July 2022 we trained up 16 of our staff on the two-day Mental Health First Aid Award, undertook training on how to support emotional resilience, gained accreditation in Sleep Right to help advise and support parents whose children may be struggling with sleep, along with investing CPD time in to the National College modules for all staff and governors to complete.”

Joe Stoney, co-founder of The National College, congratulated LVS Hassocks. He said: “By completing our training programme, the school has shown its commitment to developing an environment where children and staff feel supported, valued and can thrive.”
