Our Mental Health and Wellbeing Offer

In our school we make provision for children who have a variety of needs. A range of provision and support is provided in school for children who find it difficult to manage their emotions and behaviour in a way that affects their daily life.

Please see the sub-pages listed down the side for further external support and advice available for children and families.
