Support in school

School is a place where you should always feel safe and happy. If you ever come across something that makes you feel uncomfortable, worried, or sad, it is important to share your feelings with someone you trust. Look out for the poster below, around school. It will tell you what could be a problem and where to find help and support. Remember, you have the right to feel safe, so don’t keep sad feelings to yourself – tell someone. At any time in the school day, you can speak to your teacher, any adult in school or a member of our Safeguarding Team (their pictures are on the poster in school)  Your well-being is our top priority and we are here to listen and support you.
