Supporting Your Wellbeing
Mental Health and Wellbeing for our students
It is thought about one third of all children and young people live with a parent with mental ill-health, around 7% of which live in lone-parent households. For some, the presence of mental ill-health may have little or no impact on the day-to-day parenting that they receive, with the child / young person remaining safe and feeling loved and valued. For others however the impact may be more significant, meaning that the child / young person requires help and support to understand what is going on and reduce the impact on their health and development.
It can be hard to talk to about mental health but it’s important to try. Talking to a friend, a family member, your GP or come and talk to someone in school you trust.
We are here to support you. If you are worried in any way or have an issue you need help with, please let us know.
If you have a worry or an issue you can speak to any member of staff you feel comfortable speaking to, but for each Year Group we have a dedicated Key Stage Leader. They are responsible for;
-
your mental health and wellbeing
-
your safeguarding
-
monitoring behaviour and attendance
-
celebrating your success and encouraging you to achieve even more
-
working together with you and your family to overcome any obstacles
-
monitoring your progress in lessons and supporting you to reach your potential
-
supporting you with any welfare issues and being someone you can talk to
