Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be Kind. AlwaysVarious
We want to ensure that our students feel happy and safe and be able to flourish and enjoy all aspects of school life and into the future. We promote the emotional wellbeing and mental health of our students, so they are equipped to handle the challenges of modern-day living.
What do we do?
Our aim is to guarantee a holistic approach to wellbeing and provide a high-quality educational experience for all students and that that includes working in partnership with staff and families. We will develop the skills and attributes needed open and non-judgmental approach which enable our students to become more resilient, to know how and when to ask for help, and to know where to access support and to achieve their academic potential.
Positive mental health and wellbeing is reflected in our school values: belong; respect; inspire; succeed and enjoy and we can support the students on an individual basis or in small groups, delivering workshops on:
- Anger Management
- Bullying
- Friendship Groups
- No Worries (Anxiety Management)
- Transition
- Bereavement and Loss
- Helping to change behaviour, improving attendance, punctuality and organisation
- Managing feelings and low self-esteem
- Chill Skills (Relaxation)
- We also facilitate a ‘Living with Teenagers' course and 'Emotional Well-Being' awareness evenings for parents and carers.
We also promote Emotional Health through PSHE and Citizenship sessions, taught by form tutors and through Wellbeing Afternoons.

How do we access the team?
Students can self-refer by visiting the LSB or asking a member of staff to refer them. Family members can contact us directly by phone or email on hlc.wellbeing@lct.education. If you have an urgent concern regarding your son/daughter’s mental health that requires a response on that day (usually that the young person is at imminent risk to themselves or others) then please try to make an appointment with your GP and request an urgent referral to BeeU.
