Across Multi-Academy Trusts, schools vary in size, resources, and support systems – but one thing remains constant: pupil wellbeing is the foundation of success.

Supporting pupil mental health isn’t a quick fix, but when schools create an environment where students feel safe and understood, the impact is undeniable: attendance stabilises, engagement deepens, and the path to achievement becomes clear.

Yet, too often, mental health provision is inconsistent, leaving gaps in support that can have lasting consequences.

How can MAT leaders implement a cohesive, high-impact strategy that works across all schools?

By the end of this session, you will:

– Gain insights into the current landscape of mental health in schools.
-Understand the link between student mental health and key educational outcomes, including attendance, attainment, and academic performance.
– Identify practical approaches to embedding mental health support within schools.
