We continue to follow Government Advice and the school remains open. However, we wanted to share with you some key contacts should your child be self-isolating, or should there be a school closure at any point. These contacts are to offer support and advice, should you require it.
Off the Record (OTR) Youth Counselling Croydon was founded in 1994 to provide free, independent and professional counselling for 14 – 25 year olds in the Croydon area. Since then the charity has expanded to include further areas of work including BME mental health work; a young carers service offering support to young people under 26 who are caring for a parent or sibling; a specialist counselling service for young refugees; online counselling and workshops; and our young people's counselling service in the boroughs of Sutton and Merton.
We work with an organisation called PIXL (Partners in Excellence), who provide a wide variety of educational resources and support teaching, learning and assessment across KS3 and KS4. They have produced some pamphlets, which parents /carers may find useful in supporting their children.
We hope that you find them useful.
