Support for our Pupils

The wellbeing of our pupils is our number one priority and we have a strong team of teaching and support staff, as well as numerous links to external support, who are available to help pupils and families with any issues they may be facing.

Please contact your child's class teacher in the first instance or their Year Leader, if you require any help or advice regarding pupil wellbeing.  Alternatively, you may wish to contact the office for advice about the best person to speak to.

You can find a range of support services here, which you may find useful. 

 

Support for our Families 

We have also focused our energies on supporting families and parents through our Family Link Worker, Tina Maxey, whose role includes direct 1-2-1 work.  Some of the fabulous parental feedback about working with Tina includes:

• “Learning that others are in the same situation is really helpful “
• “Having new strategies to try is really good”
• "Just to be able to talk to people who understand"
• "Not to feel judged"
• “Things feel more manageable, and I feel more in control”

The Wellbeing Award for Schools

On 30th March 2023, we were proud to be awarded the highly regarded Wellbeing Award for Schools, developed in partnership with the National Children’s Bureau and Optimus Education.  It recognises the outstanding work being done to promote mental health and wellbeing within our school community.

As a school we take bullying and its impact seriously. Pupils and parents should be assured that known incidents of bullying will be responded to in line with our policy which can be found here.

We are increasingly aware of the pressures that the internet can place on young people. We follow clear policies and procedures to keep pupils safe and we monitor children's use of our IT facilities. However, this is not so easy to manage at home, particularly if pupils have internet access in the privacy of their own bedrooms.  Advice about the use of the internet and staying safe online can be found here.
