We want to know, what makes your school kind?

A school in Northampton has been named the kindest in the UK by a national charity.

East Hunsbury Primary School has been given the Kind School Award by the charity 52 Lives.

The award recognises the school for "creating and embedding a culture of kindness".

The primary school has kindness ambassadors who are pupils that attend East Hunsbury. They focus on helping with the wellbeing of other students.

The school also holds regular wellbeing sessions.

Greig Trout, from the charity, said: "Be kind is their school motto, and that is incredible. It's so lovely to be here and see it in action."

The school was presented with the award by a team from 52 Lives.

"It cements our passion as a school to teach our children to be kind and to keep on moving forwards with that," said Kelly Roberts, who is the primary's mental health lead.
