Mental health difficulties shouldn’t limit success at school. We help change this by:
School Mental Health Reality
Percentage of children with mental health needs who have at least one school exclusion
20
Percentage of children with mental health needs leaving primary with required reading, writing and maths
24
Number of children with an identified mental health need in England
250000
Percentage of children with mental health needs who come from poor families
33
This must change.
We exist to make this step change in school mental health.
Minds Ahead is a social enterprise which works with forward thinking schools, universities, think tanks, charities, local authorities, strategic partners and influential leaders to bring about change at the system, school and individual level.
