Health and Wellbeing

The benefits of 'keeping busy', meeting and working with others and accomplishing new challenges are proven to have positive impact on well being.  Please click here to for ideas on how to broaden experience and have fun.  

We offer students in Years 9 and 10 the opportunity to join the Duke of Edinburgh programme, but there are ideas here available for all young people to engage with to develop their understanding of the world around them and their role within in it.

 

Safeguarding and Health and Wellbeing Information for Teenagers 

Please find below a link to an interactive poster from the School Nursing Team.  The poster contains over 90 slides of health related information, videos and links to online and other support services. We really hope this will be a simple and effective way of sharing health information with young people. 

The poster is available to you digitally. We recommend you use Chrome or Safari internet browsers to access the poster (Internet Explorer does not support all interactive features). Please use the link provided to you here:

We know that some young people may be particularly anxious at this examination time of year and with that in mind we recommend that you send out the message below and the attached poster to students who are in the middle of exams and to their parents for their information.

Mindworks Surrey is the Children and Young People's Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health Service for Surrey.

Mindworks Surrey’s free Children and Young People’s Crisis Line is available 24 hours a day for young people, and their families/carers, who are experiencing emotional and mental health crisis.

The free 24/7 mental health crisis line number is 0800 915 4644.

It can be used by those who are already receiving mental health services, and also by those who are not. A professional will provide advice, support and signposting to a range of community services.
