Wellbeing Awards
Congratulations to Monks Coppenhall Academy and Day Nursery!
We have been accredited with The AcSEED Award.
Charlotte Gatherer, founder of The AcSEED Initiative said, “AcSEED promotes adoption of best practices in supporting the emotional wellbeing and mental health of young people in schools and colleges, and provides recognition for organisations that satisfy the AcSEED criteria for wellbeing support. The AcSEED assessment team were impressed by the wellbeing ethos at Monks Coppenhall Academy, and by the comprehensive range of emotional wellbeing provisions available to their pupils. We are therefore delighted to announce that Monks Coppenhall Academy has been accredited with The AcSEED Award”.
