The Inclusions Team are introducing wellbeing post boxes, which will be located in 5 areas:
- Athena College Office
- Forseti College Office
- Neptune College Office
- Safeguarding Office
- SWC
If you are in need of support, help yourself to a form, complete it, explaining your worries and why you would like support, and pop it in the postbox.
Postboxes are checked daily between 11am – 2pm.
If you are in need of immediate assistance, please seek support from your college office.
Throughout Term 3, you will begin to notice a number of Wellbeing boards introduced across the Academy site, on these you will find the following information:
- wellbeing support map
- school nurse
- safeguarding team
- wellbeing team
- drop-in services within school
- a list of apps, websites and numbers you can use to get support outside of school
We have introduced a new way to report a welfare concern directly to the safeguarding team, by using the tab on your homepage.
This will only be monitored during school hours. If you require support outside of school hours, tell a trusted adult, access Childline, or in emergencies, call 999.
