Every Mind Matters
Hello from the Pastoral Team
It has been so lovely to see everyone back in school. Our students appear to have enjoyed their Easter break and all the students seem very happy that some of the restrictions are lifting (especially the re-opening of Primark!).
We are acutely aware that the smiles may be the tip of the iceberg. Covid will already have had a serious impact on the well being of all our students, as well as their families. Below is a link to a quick video offering advice and support aimed at parents.
Every Mind Matters – looking after children and young people
As a team, we will continue to work hard to support your children and please feel free to email us with any concerns you may have. We will be working hard over the next few weeks to help students to reintegrate back into learning from school and so they can really feel safe and secure…and most importantly happy, during their final term of the academic year.
