Wellbeing Support

HomeParents & CarersWellbeing Support

The safety, wellbeing and happiness of our learners is our highest priority. We are committed to creating a positive, inclusive and supportive environment where all members of our school community feel safe, respected and valued. 

We recognise that wellbeing and online safety are closely connected. As technology continues to play an important role in everyday life, we support learners to develop the knowledge, skills and resilience needed to use digital technologies safely, responsibly and confidently. We also work proactively to promote positive mental health and emotional wellbeing, ensuring that appropriate support is available whenever it is needed.  

Our safeguarding, wellbeing and pastoral teams work closely with learners, families and external agencies to provide support, guidance and early intervention. We encourage anyone with a concern about a learner’s welfare, mental health or online safety to contact the school so that we can help.

If you are worried about your own wellbeing, the wellbeing of a child, or online activity that is causing concern, support is available both within school and from the trusted organisations below.
