Unfortunately, there have been a few very sad incidents within the community over the last couple of weeks. When incidents occur it ripples through the school and impacts us all. We do our best to support our pupils with questions and worries they may have and hope that the tools we provide them with through our teaching are enough to help them to overcome challenges and trauma.
Age appropriate dialogue and honesty is the best approach. Speculation needs to be avoided and if you have concerns they need to be raised through the appropriate channels.
If you have concerns about a child you can contact the Multi-agency Safeguarding hub directly on 01908 253169.
There are also lots of adults in school to help you. Please remember that Miss Proctor, Miss Henry and myself are all mental health leads. Mrs Jamieson, Mrs Butterfield and Miss Bromfield- our Learning Mentors- can all support you with managing difficult conversations with your children.
We are here to help if needed.
