SMILERS

We are GOLD!!!

The Smilers ambassadors have been working extremely  hard all year on their GOLD level, which involved work in the community as well as ensuring that Smilers is embedded in our school ethos. This is a major achievement. There are currently only 4 other schools in Derbyshire that have achieved this award. 

We are all so proud of the work that has been achieved and look forward to continuing to the Smilers journey in 2026/2027 and beyond!

We have almost completed working towards our GOLD SMILERS Award. We will keep you up to date with our progress on this. Some of our criteria has been met for this by working in the local community by making connections with a local care home. The Smilers have been visiting residents and doing activities such as painting, singing, reading and competitions together. The Smilers have brought a lot of joy and happy tears to residents, which has inevitably assisted their mental health and well being. 

There is also a link to websites that support positive mental health both local and regional below and under PSHE Curriculum.

The SMILERS ways to wellbeing are:

STAY CONNECTED - Having healthy relationships with people and pets to help you fell happy

MOVE - Being active releases chemicals in your brain which boosts your mood and makes you feel good

INTEREST - Having special interests and learning something new to keep your brain busy

LOOK - Using your senses to notice what is around you to keep you in the moment

EATING WELL - Eating a balanced diet to make you feel good and also to help you stay healthy and strong

REST - Getting a good night's sleep to improve your memory, mood and mental health 

SUPPORT - Supporting people to make us feel positive and to make them happy too! 

The Smilers hold a shop each term, where they sell Walter the Owl themed items, and product with Well being messages,  including bracelets, notepads, fidget toys and stress balls. They also organise some fun competitions throughout the year.
