Menstrual Cycle Support, in collaboration with Cornwall Council (Education Effectiveness and Headstart Kernow) and CELT Multi Academy Schools Trust are offering three schools in the St Austell area (Brannel, Penrice, Penair) a seven month Menstrual Cycle Support Accreditation (Jan-July 2026). An Impact Report, which will include collated and analysed data from school staff, parent and potentially student surveys will be published later in 2026.
Menstrual Cycle Support (MCS) is a digital, whole-school programme designed to improve menstrual literacy and reduce stigma and distress. Pilot findings suggest promising impacts, but little is known about how and why MCS works, for whom, and in which contexts.
By embedding menstrual health literacy and stigma reduction into school systems, the intervention seeks to improve educational engagement, enhance mental health outcomes, and reduce health inequalities for students in deprived or rural areas and those with additional vulnerabilities. It is hoped that findings will inform future commissioning decisions and provide a foundation for scaling up the intervention across Cornwall and beyond.
