Mental Health Support 

If you are struggling to cope, feeling overwhelmed or concerned about someone else, reaching out to others can be very beneficial. Many students experience these feelings – it's quite common, and staff are well-equipped to assist those who find their emotions challenging to manage. 

Initially, you can talk to your Pupil Support Leader, Pupil Support Assistant, or our Safeguarding Officer (Mrs Allen). They are trained to provide support and can also connect you with professionals for further assistance. These experts are dedicated to helping individuals like you and are ready to listen. Remember, you are not alone.
