Once again our hygiene packs have been a huge success. Year 7 collected their packs last Friday and were thrilled with their contents. We still have some packs available so if you didn’t collect yours please see reception with your permission slip. We are proud and humbled to be able to provide these packs to our pupils and community. 

Thank you to the school for giving us these packs for free, there is some cool stuff to keep in our school bags

Below is a link to the young person’s mental health toolkit from HWB, designed for 11 to 25-year-olds. Here you will find six playlists to direct you to a wide range of online resources to help you through the lockdown and beyond. In each of the playlists you’ll find self-help websites, apps, helplines, and more that are here to support your mental health and well-being.
Please remember: if you’re finding it difficult to cope, make sure you speak to someone you trust. Who this might be is different for everyone, but it might include family members or carers, a teacher, a helpline, or a doctor. How you feel is important and lots of people are here to help if you need them.
