Where are we?
On the ground floor, in the main corridor opposite the main
staircase.
Parents/carers should contact
the tutor or Head of House
in the first instance to discuss
a problem.
What we can do for you:
Most students will go through their time at the College happy and relaxed but sometimes events happen either inside or outside College that affect a student’s
well-being. Issues that affect you could be things like falling out with a friend, a worry about homework or wanting a quiet place at
lunch-time. These kinds of things can be sorted out quite easily. At other times the issue might be more serious - difficulties with relationships, a bereavement or ill health. We know that problems can get in the way of lessons and that when you are upset, worried or angry you find it difficult to learn. We believe that we can help you find solutions to your problems whatever they may be.
For example:
We can offer a place for you to drop in before College, during break and lunchtimes. There will be adults available so that you can share concerns, worries, joys and successes, enabling you to feel more confident. We offer some students a quiet place to work during lessons if they are unable to focus in class. We can facilitate resolution to friendship problems and help you resolve difficulties with your work. We can support you to improve your attendance and help you with issues that stop you coming to school.
Where we believe you would benefit from additional support we can refer to other services within College.
