PSHE Support
During the school closure pupils may have questions or concerns about a variety of issues around their physical, mental and sexual health. At school pupils would have access to staff who have knowledge or training that could address these with them alongside the teaching of topics in PSHE through RSE lessons which would develop their understanding of these areas. However, in light of the current National closures of schools, we recognise that pupils may struggle to find the support which they require. Therefore, below you will find a list of useful websites which can be independently accessed to find information, help and support.
https://www.youngstonewall.org.uk/
These websites are not work that is being set for pupils to do. They are there for pupils to access should they need some advice and support around relationships and sex.
If you do have questions or worries then we encourage you to talk to a trusted family member or friend wherever possible. In addition, you can access support from the following websites:

As a parent, you may also find the following websites useful to guide you in supporting your child during this time:
