The College addresses Wellbeing in a number of ways: weekly Wellbeing lessons to the 1^st to 4^th Form delivered by a specialist teacher, age appropriate presentations to Junior, Middle and Senior Schools and tutorials given by tutors addressing a wide-range of pastoral themes, such as friendships, anti-bullying, mental health and kindness. These sessions may well include short film clips, discussion topics, quizzes and news articles.The 1^st to 5^th Form follow a dedicated scheme of work, delivered by the Wellbeing Lead, and further information can be found in our Relationships and Sex Education Policy.The College also arranges age appropriate presentations using outside speakers for our pupils, parents and staff.

I found it to be very informative and realised there were big gaps in my knowledge of the subject. It has definitely made me more confident in approaching the subject with my children.Just to say thank you for organising a very interesting presentation. How little did I know!We wanted to drop you a line to say how impressed we were with the presentation. We learnt a lot and can see the benefits of being well informed.
