Wilnecote Wellbeing
Here at The Wilnecote School we understand the importance of supporting the wellbeing of our young people. This section of the website includes some helpful information and links to online resources which you may find useful whether you are a student or parent/carer. If you are concerned about yourself or someone else you can speak to a member of our pastoral or safeguarding teams. Alternatively, you can contact us using this form. We provide a range of pastoral support within school and also work closely with outside agencies including Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), Action for Children, Malachi, School Nurse team, Mental Health Support Worker and School Counsellor. You can also contact your GP or NHS 111 for support. We recognise that asking for support isn’t always easy and although our pastoral and safeguarding teams and trained to support young people with their wellbeing we encourage them to discuss their concerns with any member of staff they feel comfortable talking to. This may be their form tutor, a class teacher or member of support staff. The important thing is that you are not alone.

You do not have to include your name but please keep in mind that we can only support someone if we know who needs our support.
This form will automatically be sent to an email account which a small number of staff at school have access to. This email account will be checked regularly so that we can deal with your concerns. However, if you feel that you need immediate support please speak to a member of staff or seek help via the websites that we have shared links to.
