Mental Health and Wellbeing
As a school we really prioritise wellbeing as core to our work. This is seen in our curriculum, our personal development work, our pastoral provision and it an embedded part of our vision and values.
Our Senior Mental Health lead, Mrs. Wiltshire, is always available to discuss any concerns you might have and to signpost you to sources of support.
