Learner Support
Are you currently struggling to cope with friendships issues, exam worries, or recent bereavement? You are not alone. Scroll down for more information, or speak to a member of staff for support.
At school you have your Form Tutor or Head of Year who you can talk to. We also have a welfare team who can support you with anything from friendship issues to safeguarding.
Sessions may be available with the school nurse and internal and external counsellors.
