WELL-BEING
Our school community's mental health and well-being is our top priority at this testing time. This page aims to provide you with links to services as well as the tips for how you can support your child and family at home. Whilst caring for others, it is important to ensure your own health and well-being needs are being met.
We are delighted to introduce our Home School Partnership Manager, Hailey Sellins, who will be on hand to help families with parenting support and general advice.
On these pages, you will find advice, guidance and links on how to look after yours and your family's mental health and well-being.
