Mental Health and Well-Being
Our aim is to provide mental health and well-being advice, support and signposting for all students, parents and staff.
We all have mental health and good mental health is a valuable asset that will allow you to complete tasks effectively and efficiently.
In order for us to support mental health and well-being, we have a number of projects, support sessions, lessons, external agencies and activities in school.
We are continually updating our knowledge to allow us to drive forward our aim and to provide a platform that can be accessed by all.
