Wellbeing

Ensuring wellbeing in our sixth form is essential for the overall health and success of students. The Sixth Form Team work cooperatively with teachers to create a supportive and nurturing environment that promotes physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. We encourage open communication between students and staff, and we address any issues relating to mental health promptly.

If you or your child are worried about their safety, contact their form tutor, head of Sixth Form, or the Designated Safeguarding Lead.
