💛🌼 Last week, our school came together to celebrate World Mental Health Day by taking part in 'Hello Yellow' — a campaign by Young Minds that shines a light on young people’s mental health.
Since 2016, Hello Yellow has brought thousands of schools, workplaces, and communities together each October to wear yellow, raise awareness, and show that no young person should ever feel alone in how they’re feeling 💛
Throughout the week, we’ve been focusing on mental health and how we can support each other through special sessions, activities, and challenges. It’s been amazing to see our students and staff come together, share kindness, and remind one another that asking for help is always okay. 💬✨
Together, we’re helping to build a brighter, more supportive community — one hello at a time 💛

🎉 CHALLENGE COMPLETE: 88 Squats a Day for Brain Tumour Research 🧠💪
Over the past 31 days, we’ve completed 2,728 squats — every single one in support of the 88 people diagnosed with a brain tumour each day in the UK. This challenge wasn’t just about fitness — it was deeply personal.
We took on this challenge in solidarity with one of our own — a courageous student who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour. Their strength, resilience, and determination have inspired every squat, every rep, and every moment of this journey. 💛
To that student: we see you, we support you, and we’re with you every step of the way. Your story is a reminder of how urgently we need more research, more funding, and ultimately — a cure.
Thank you to everyone who squatted, donated, and shared. You’ve helped raise awareness and vital funds for Brain Tumour Research — because lives depend on it.

The challenge ends here, but the fight does not. 🧬🧠

The Sheriff of Nottingham paid a special visit to SHAPE, our alternative provision at Safe Haven — and he left seriously impressed. Two of our amazing pupils took him on a grand tour (we think they might have a future in public speaking!), proudly showing off everything that makes SHAPE such a unique and supportive place.
His verdict? SHAPE is the best alternative provision he’s seen in Nottingham. We couldn’t be prouder!
Massive thanks to our brilliant staff and inspiring young people for making every day special — and for absolutely wowing our guest.
We love celebrating these moments. Here’s to many more! 💙🙌

🎉 Congratulations to our incredible Head of Provision at SHAPE, Louise Smith , on her 1-year anniversary with us! 🎉
What an amazing journey it’s been:
✅ Launching SHAPE and applied for DfE approval
✅ Welcoming 48 students and an outstanding staff team
✅ Appearing on TV to raise awareness about key issues
✅ Building a recording booth and adding a minibus – all to give our young people the best possible experience
Your vision, leadership, and dedication have shaped so much in just one year. We’re excited to see what the next chapter brings.

🍑 HALF-WAY AND STILL SQUATTING! 🔥
We’re 16 days into our 88 squats a day challenge at Safe Haven and the legs are definitely feeling it — but the spirit is stronger than ever! 💪💙
Why are we doing this? Because one of our amazing SHAPE students has been diagnosed with a brain tumour, and we’re standing (and squatting!) in solidarity — raising awareness and funds for Brain Tumour Research.
There’ve been sore thighs, wobbly walks, and lots of laughs, but every rep is filled with love, strength, and support. And we’re not done yet!
Want to help us smash our goal?

Every squat counts. Every donation matters. Let’s keep going — for our student, for this cause, for everyone fighting brain tumours. 💛

We’re getting our squats on this July at Safe Haven — 88 squats a day! 🍑🔥
Recently, one of our amazing SHAPE students has been diagnosed with a brain tumour, and we want to show them (and everyone else fighting brain tumours) that we’ve got their back — and our legs! 💪
We’re squatting our way through the month to raise money for Brain Tumour Research and spread some serious love and support. It might mean some jelly legs and wobbly walks, but every rep is worth it.
Want to cheer us on (or just laugh at our sore legs)? Even better — want to support this incredible cause? Check out our fundraising page below. Every donation makes a difference!

Let’s do this together! 💙
