If you are a student with us we hope that you will find our staff, our curriculum and our ethos supports your wellbeing and mental health. However, if at any time you do not feel that this support is enough we hope that you will talk to one of our team or the clinical team. If you are not in our school then I hope that you will find the list of resources and contact below helpful in supporting you wellbeing and mental health.
