Well-Being
Elements associated with wellbeing such as hope, gratitude and emotional regulation have been proven to improve academic resilience and success. Children and young people with enhanced feelings of wellbeing are likely to go on to be happier, more successful adults. Within school, we offer a range of support towards the wellbeing of our pupils including access to counselling, enhanced outdoor opportunities in our extensive grounds, and access to our very own Head of Wellbeing, who is available each and every day to listen to pupils, staff and parents who need a little TLC and an open ear.

The school has recently invested in the SHARP reporting tool. SHARP allows young people to report any incidents which occur within our school and local community anonymously and without fear. Aside from the reporting tool SHARP delivers educational content to raise awareness on a wide range of subjects including: bullying, health, community issues, weapons and hate crime. The link above is also the link from where an App may be downloaded to your phone (or to that of your son/daughter).
