This week gave us everything from wellbeing fairs to mindfulness workshops, VR meditation, cycle challenges, creative sessions, yoga, crafts, wellbeing walks and therapy dogs 💭🌿

Mental Health Awareness Week 2026 brought staff and students across Activate Learning together to take positive action for wellbeing, in line with this year’s theme from the Mental Health Foundation: Action.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, supported events, fundraised for MindGreen, shared conversations and helped create such a positive atmosphere across our campuses and online this week.

Special thank you to MindGreen for supporting this year’s activities through charitable donations!

Together, we’re continuing to make mental health conversations more open, supportive and action-focused. 💚

We asked students across Activate Learning: what does mental health mean to you? 💬

Their answers were thoughtful and honest. Many shared that taking time to look after themselves, spending time with loved ones, and doing hobbies they enjoy all play an important role in supporting positive mental health and wellbeing. 💚

Mental health is just as important as physical health, and taking small actions to look after your wellbeing can make a big difference.

What’s one thing you do to look after your mental health? 👇

We were delighted to see our Professional Culinary Arts students taking part in the recent qualifying heats for our new Culinary Arts competition ❤️👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

The competition celebrates creativity, passion and dedication in the kitchen, with students producing an incredible range of dishes across our Level 1 and Level 2 Culinary Arts programmes.

Congratulations to Level 1 student, Graz, and Level 2 student, Beth, who claimed first place in the heats and will now progress to the grand finals! 🎉

The overall winner will receive The Talvin Ghag Memorial Award for Culinary Excellence — a special award created in memory of former Oxford College student and Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons chef, Talvin Ghag.

Talvin’s passion, resilience and love for the culinary arts inspired everyone around him. This award recognises students who embody those same qualities: perseverance, commitment to growth, and an unwavering passion for their craft.

We can’t wait to see the finalists compete in July! ✨

Every learner deserves the right support to thrive in education.

That’s why we’re proud to launch our new Level 3 Teaching Assistant with embedded SEND training apprenticeship, helping education professionals build the confidence, practical skills and inclusive approaches needed to support all learners.

Our first cohort of 24 apprentices will develop specialist knowledge to help children and young people with additional needs feel supported, included and empowered in their learning journey.

Alongside core classroom practice, the programme includes dedicated SEND learning designed to strengthen inclusive support across schools and colleges, helping create learning environments where every student can succeed.

Designed around the realities of busy education settings, the programme offers flexible delivery during term time, workplace-based learning, live online sessions, dedicated coaching and levy funding opportunities.
