Parents can contact any member of staff, if they are worried about their son in relation to a school matter or any other matter that they are concerned about. For parents, especially now, it is a mine field trying to negotiate their way through home schooling, isolation, mental health etc. and sometimes as parents it can become overwhelming due to the many challenges faced. As a school we are here to help and we will do whatever we can to support you and your son.

Life doesn't always go to plan and it can often be derailed by events that we have no control over. Bereavement, illness, changes in circumstances etc can take their toll of our ability to function effectively and this applies to both adults and children. When this happens, people need support and as a school we have a range of strategies and procedures that we can use inside school but we also have contact with organisations within the community and statutory agencies that we use to provide support and help.
Some of the support that you can avail of, are:
Pastoral support from Form Teachers and Head of Year
Support from our SENCo
Support from our Safe Guarding Team
Counselling service
