This morning we held a really successful Coffee Morning for Parents of Y7, this involved our Mental Health Support Team coming in to deliver a presentation around what they can offer parents & students during their time with us.

It was also a really good opportunity to discuss in an open forum some of the challenges students face with regards to mental health.

Thank you to all the parents that attended!
