Emotional Wellbeing
The mental health and emotional wellbeing of our students is a key priority, and more so now than ever before. In school we look at various aspects of mental health during form time and assemblies and our Pastoral team are always on hand to support whenever we can. We also have guidance and information from various outside sources, including parent information evenings.
The following link provides useful information about sources of advice and help for mental health and emotional wellbeing, particularly in the current climate:
