Student Well-being

For our students to achieve their very best, they need to feel well, mentally, physically, and emotionally and that is why we put student wellbeing at the heart of our approach to sixth form study.

Mental health and wellbeing guidance and support

The nature of Sixth Form study will be stressful at times for students, but for others it can also be a more challenging experience. The Sixth Form has several support mechanisms available for students no matter what their level of need including both internal and external guidance and specialist support. Students or parents with any concerns, seeking advice, or requesting help, should contact Mrs Holland or a member of the sixth form team in the first instance who will then signpost students to the appropriate support.
