Mental Health & Wellbeing
Supporting the Mental Health and Wellbeing of our students and staff is a key priority in College. We draw upon a wide range of training opportunities, agencies and organizations to ensure our students and staff are given the support they need. In 2021 we were awarded the bronze ‘Carnegie Mental Health Award for Schools’.
