Epsom College Wellbeing

Amazing and inspiring PSD lecture for the L6th from ⁦@IAmAntBennett⁩ about dealing with adversity, developing resilience and character, seizing opportunities and kindness. A real treat and plenty for pupils and staff present to reflect on

I so adored speaking at @EpsomCollegeUK today engaging with all the students and celebrating #Black HistoryMonth. They told me they are going to work hard towards changing the world by having empathy for all cultures @EpsomC_Chaplain #kindredspirits ❤️

Fantastic to welcome Jacqueline from ⁦⁦⁦@foundationdsm⁩ to speak to our L6th Peer Mentors about the foundation’s work. Lots are now keen to train up as this brilliant charity’s Youth Ambassadors and to get involved in drugs awareness and education

Fantastic opportunity for L6th Peer Mentors, Theo, Ollie and Charlie, taking part in the ⁦@shrewsburyhouse⁩ Wellbeing Morning. They gave an insightful and engaging presentation on Digital Safety to the Year 5, 6 & 7 pupils with lots of practical tips for staying safe online

Mr Paul Williams, Second Master extraordinaire, has won ⁦@SchoolsTatler⁩’s Unsung Hero of the Year. The man is an Epsom legend - there can barely have been a more richly deserved honour, in this of all years.

A new school year ahead. LGBT+ youth & their families attend schools every day, not just #PrideMonth. My book ‘Celebrating Difference’ is for those working with diverse young people to help prevent prejudice. amzn.to/2EBFWyq #LGBTQIA #education #ukedchat #edutwitter

Wow. Incredible achievement 👏 #proud.

I’m walking along the Rhine path from km zero, where the first world war trenches ended on the border with Switzerland, to Freiburg, looking at a possible extension of the Western Front Way from one great mediaeval city and Cathedral to Canterbury, another such at the other end.
