Dear Parents/carers,
The events of the last week have been challenging and, as an Academy, we have done our best to answer every question asked of us in an open and honest way. We’d like to deal with the mental health of our students in exactly the same way. We know that many of our young people will be struggling with the changes and the uncertainty over exams, although you can find information on the latter here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/further-details-on-exams-and-grades-announced
There will also be heightened anxiety generally. We believe that we can start to manage this anxiety by limiting time on social media and ensuring that we get any information about Covid-19 from the NHS website and official sources. Following the guidance is key and starting to build daily routines and structures will help us all adjust.
Of course, the safety and wellbeing of our students continues to be of paramount importance and there are lots of useful physical and mental advice support services for you to share with your children. We’ve listed some that we recommend below.
