Sources of advice & support

Well-being Manager

The Well-being Manager, Miss Rebecca Dockree, works closely with Mrs Strong, Deputy Head Pastoral. Miss Rebecca offers support to students dealing with emotional health and well-being issues. She has over 16 years’ experience supporting school children with any worries, issues or concerns they may have and in additional she has 10 years of safeguarding experience.

Rebecca offers a safe non-judgemental environment for pupils to explore their thoughts and feelings by allowing them to talk and be heard while supporting them throughout their school life.

Sometimes parents and young people wish to seek advice and support from outside school. Here is a list of services, groups and agencies which we hope will be able to offer the help that is needed:
