They received the Bronze and Silver Mental Health Stigma Programme (MHSP) awards and became the first school in the county to receive the Bronze TaMHS accreditation.

Northants County Councillor Matt Golby presented the awards before Northampton Town's home match against Southend Utd.

Emma Toye, CTS's Attendance and Welfare Officer said ‘We are delighted to receive these awards and it is very fulfilling to be the first secondary school in the county to achieve the TaMHS accreditation. There are lots of things in the news about children’s mental health at the moment and  it is important that children know how they can seek help. We want to be knowledgeable on the subject and able to support and protect our students.’
