We know that student wellbeing is incredibly important and we want to ensure that our school is a place where students feel their wellbeing is supported. We would like to make you aware of further information around local services that may be beneficial to you or your family. However, if you feel that you or your family are in danger of not coping, then please do not hesitate to seek support or ask for help.
These contacts are also available on page 15 in the student planner. There is more information on mental health and wellbeing, staying safe in school and handling bullying from pages 16-19.
