In order to help students succeed, we have a role to play in supporting them to be resilient and mentally healthy. As a school, we are committed to creating a culture within school that values all students; allows them to feel a sense of belonging; and makes it possible to talk about problems in a non-stigmatising way and to help student promote their own wellbeing an d that of others.

We also work closely with other professionals to provide a range of support services that can be put in place depending on the identified needs. Toot Hill school has established links with a vast array of services which students may be referred into, via The Hub which is lead and managed by Mr Rossin.

If you would like to speak to a member of staff about the services we access or have concerns regarding your child, then please contact either Mr Rossin or Mrs Gray.
