Southgate School

Southgate Achieves a Wellbeing Award!

In 2024, we were awarded the Wellbeing Award for Schools for the second time.  This recognises our dedication to promoting and supporting the wellbeing and mental health of our whole school community.  We are committed to working closely with pupils, families, staff and the a wide range of external agencies to raise awareness of mental health and to support wellbeing.  Staff across school have completed a wide range of specialist training courses and we have a team of Mental Health First Aiders.
