Our Mental Health Team
Below is the team of support and teaching staff who have been trained in Mental Health First Aid.
This is a two day course which explores in depth how staff can support our young people. Our vision is that every teacher and support staff member will receive the opportunity for this training within the next five years. We recognise the importance of being mentally healthy as practitioners and leading by example. We also believe it is crucial for every staff member to be continually developing their understanding of issues facing our young people today.
If students have concerns with their mental health, they can speak to any of the staff members listed below or their pastoral team or the safeguarding team.
