It was lovely to see so many parents' faces in our virtual parents' meeting this morning about understanding and supporting your teenager with emotional and mental wellbeing. We discussed this wonderful tool from Action for Happiness which gives simple things that all of us can do each day to help towards a more positive and healthy mindset.🙂😊 The resources and slides from the meeting will be sent out via email to all parents tomorrow.

Look out for more snippets from former students over the coming weeks. We are committed to supporting our students to be fulfilled, happy and healthy, both in body and in mind.

The pandemic has affected everyone in different ways, and the current uncertainties are unsettling for everyone. But how can you help your child if they are feeling anxious or stressed, and what should you do if you are worried about your child’s mental health or wellbeing? Parents and carers are invited to drop in to an online meeting with our student wellbeing team this Thursday 19th November between 11am and 12.30 to find out more about how you can help to support your teenager.
