Mental Health & Wellbeing

As a highly inclusive Sixth Form, we recognise that all students are individuals and flourish in different ways. We pride ourselves that, in addition to providing pastoral and academic care for our students, we also have a clear and coherent student support team that incorporates both personal and academic progress in all aspects of our students’ lives. The range of support helps our students to become independent, self-sufficient, healthy and productive young people and adults. We adopt a proactive, whole-child centred approach and have key skilled staff that can provide a wide range of interventions, reduce barriers to learning and enhance healthy development. The Sixth Form Centre offers a clear graduated response system which involves tutors/teachers, team leaders, the Additional Learning Needs Co-Ordinator and the Senior Leadership Team.  

At our school, we aim to promote positive mental health and wellbeing for our whole school community; students, staff, parents and carers, and recognise how important mental health and emotional wellbeing is to our lives in just the same way as physical health. We pursue this aim using universal, whole school approaches and specialised, targeted approaches aimed at vulnerable students.
