We were delighted to welcome back Sarah Frazer to train our year 12 students in mental health awareness. Twenty-five students completed this short course as well as a further eight undertaking the two-day Mental Health First Aid course accredited by Mental Health England.

These are the first steps in preparing our nextcohort of Talking in Confidence (TIC) Buddieswho will also be trained in safeguarding and active listening skills as the year progresses.The TIC buddies are one intervention on the graduated pathway for younger students and just one of the ways in which the sixth form students support the wider school community.
