We pleased to announce that Damhead Primary School have obtained Level 1 in the Take 5 programme in June 2026. We are now working towards Level 2.
Most of us have a sense of when we’re feeling mentally and physically well, but now and then we could use a little extra support to stay that way. That’s where the Five Ways to Wellbeing come in — five easy steps you can weave into your daily routine. Think of them like your ‘five a day’ for feeling good. Our commitment to Take 5 will be visible to all staff and pupils and participation will be encouraged through a supportive environment.
As part of our journey towards achieving Take 5 Level 2, we will be focusing on one of the five Take 5 areas each month throughout the year. This will give our pupils the opportunity to develop and practise positive wellbeing habits in a meaningful way. We will then come together in February to celebrate all five areas and the activities we have taken part in.
Our monthly focus areas are:
September – Connect
October – Keep Learning
November – Take Notice
December – Give
January – Be Active
We look forward to sharing our learning and achievements as we work together to support positive wellbeing across our school community.
