Change of Contact Details
At this crucial time, it is very important that we have your up-to-date telephone numbers and email address, as this is how we are remaining in contact with parents. Please also inform us if you moved house.
During this global pandemic, we are facing very difficult circumstances.
Here at LAB, we recognise this universal struggle and are keen to support both parents and students during this unprecedented time. We want you to know that we are here for you.
Sometimes it can be difficult to know what to do when faced with a challenge within the family and even with the internet, as a fantastic research tool, you can sometimes come away feeling more lost or unsure.
We have collated a selection of trusted online resources that cover a variety of different issues that may be affecting families during this time.
Below we have also included specific points of contact within LAB. If you feel your child needs individual support we have a fantastic Pastoral Care Team who are able to provide that through weekly Pastoral Sessions and regular check ins.

Just a reminder that we are promoting www.kooth.com as a safe website to the pupils.This is a free, safe and anonymous online support for young people. On Kooth students can chat to a friendly counsellor, read articles written by young people, get support from the Kooth community and write in a daily journal.There is a short four minute video on the homepage, which we encourage parents to watch too!
