As part of the Socrates Programme, our Year 9 Socrates Scholars visited the Bethlem Museum of Mind in Beckenham on Wednesday morning.

Mental Health is a topic that our pupils find particularly interesting, with the aim of the visit being to explore mental health issues and wellbeing while also seeing how mental illness was treated in the past.

Pupils learned about the history of the Bethlem Hospital and engaged enthusiastically in this thought-provoking and complex topic, commenting on the interesting exhibits and artwork.
