Statistically, many children will require wellbeing support at some point during their time at Holywell. We have designated wellbeing staff and provide regular training for all staff to promote and support positive mental health across the school.
We also recognise that some children and families may need additional support beyond what school can offer. Below is a list of organisations and resources that parents and carers can contact if further help is required. This is not an exhaustive list; if you would like further guidance or are unsure where to turn, please get in touch. We are here to help and will do our best to support you.
