Parkhall Integrated College is delighted to share some fantastic news with our school community. On Thursday 4th June, the College was proudly awarded the Platinum Level Award by the Take 5 Steps to Wellbeing programme – the highest recognition available.

This outstanding achievement reflects the school’s continued commitment to promoting health and wellbeing across all aspects of College life. The Platinum Award is presented only to those schools that demonstrate exceptional dedication to embedding wellbeing into their ethos, policies, and daily practices. It recognises a holistic approach to supporting the mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing of both students and staff.

At Parkhall Integrated College, wellbeing is a core priority. Over recent years, the College has implemented a wide range of innovative and inclusive initiatives designed to support its entire school community. These include student-led wellbeing programmes, staff support systems, awareness campaigns, and opportunities for physical activity, mindfulness, and positive social connection. The Take 5 framework—encouraging individuals to Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning and Give—has been fully integrated into school life.

Achieving Platinum status is a significant milestone and a testament to the collective efforts of staff, students, parents, and the wider community. It highlights the importance of collaboration and shared responsibility in creating a supportive and nurturing environment where every individual can thrive.

The College would like to extend heartfelt congratulations and thanks to everyone involved in this journey. Their enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment have been instrumental in reaching this exceptional standard.
