Teenage years can be difficult for some young people and our Pupil Support staff play an important role in helping pupils who are experiencing challenges in their education or personal lives. During Parents’ Evenings there are opportunities for parents/carers to meet Pupil Support Leaders, however if you have concerns about your child’s progress or matters of a personal nature, you can contact the school to make an appointment with the relevant House Team.
Your child’s Pupil Support Leader is your first point of contact if you have any concerns you would like to discuss. They can be contacted on the telephone number below.
