Supporting students’ mental health and wellbeing is very important to us here at Bridlington School, that’s why we’ve set up a support network to ensure that every child can access the help they may need. We know that mental health and wellbeing have a significant impact on a young person’s attainment and achievement, so we aim to make it a priority to support our students in every possible way.
We are currently working toward the Wellbeing Award for Schools (WAS), an accreditation in conjunction with the National Children’s Bureau that will demonstrate our commitment to improving and developing our knowledge and expertise in helping students and staff with their mental health.
