Government’s mentalhealth champion for schools in England, who criticised the pressure put on children by the current testing regime, is axed. Natasha Devon who was appointed last August used a head teachers’ conference last week to highlight the degree of mental strain being put on pupils. Then the Department for Education denies the role was axed to silence criticism. For instance, now and then over recent years, young people -and the people who teach them -have spoken out about how a rigorous culture of testing and academic pressure is detrimental to their mental health, Ms Devon told the Headmasters and Headmistresses Conference. It is on Tuesday this week, numbers of parents across England kept their children off school for the day in protest at primary tests in England. Let Our Kids Be Kids campaign complains of a damaging culture of over testing in schools.

Natasha has done a pretty good work of helping us to raise the profile of young people’s mental health since her appointment last year, said the spokeswoman.

Young Minds chief executive Sarah Brennan said.
