Emotional Well-being

Dear Parents and Carers,

With all the uncertainty surrounding what is happening at the moment it is understandable that many of us will feel anxious and worried.

There is lots of support available out there to help us look after our children's and own emotional well-being.

I have put together a list of useful websites for you to visit and will keep adding to this during this period.

If you have any worries that you would like the Pastoral Team to address during this uncertain time then please do e-mail us and we will do our best to support and advise you,

Warmest wishes,

Sam Couttie
