External Support

As a school we work with outside agencies such as Young Devon, The Zone, Kooth, Plymouth Youth Service, Mental Health Services, Drug and Alcohol Services, School Nursing, and other specialist support agencies.

Through the Mental Health lead ( Mr Kershaw) and the pastoral team we offer weekly drop in visits from Livewell Children Mental Health, The Mental Health Support Team as well as Young Devon Counselling.

We know It can be really difficult to know the best way to support your child if they are struggling with their mental health. The following websites offer information as well as advice lines to get support yourself:
