This week, our Year 8 and 9 students had an important assembly focused on keeping safe and safeguarding. This was aimed at ensuring students understand the importance of looking after their wellbeing and knowing where to turn for support if they ever feel unsafe or unsure.
We were pleased to be joined by representatives from Services for Young People, who spoke about the support they offer to young people in the local area covering a wide range of issues, including mental health, relationships, careers advice, and more.

We encourage students to take this opportunity to engage and learn more about how to stay safe and supported.
