Wellbeing at 最新麻豆视频
At 最新麻豆视频 pupil and staff wellbeing is central to what we do. We understand that the move from childhood to adulthood can be challenging. We will seek to support all pupils in becoming confident, capable and caring individuals as they become adult members of our community.
Our Pastoral System
We have strong pastoral systems to support students throughout their time with us. Each child has a tutor and a pastoral team comprising of a Head of Year, Assistant Head of Year and an Assistant Principal linked to each year. You can find information about who your child’s tutor and pastoral team are in our year group pages found here. In most cases if you are concerned about your child’s wellbeing you should contact your child’s tutor.
The Equality and Diversity Group
Equality and Diversity is a student-focused group which meets weekly. Students from a range of backgrounds meet to discuss current issues and to seek support where necessary. Students help create assemblies, create display boards, have input on the curriculum, and share their ideas about ways to ensure that CVC is an inclusive, supportive, diverse environment.
Targeted and Specialised Support at School
We use a range of support services in school to support pupils, these include:
If you have concerns about your child’s well-being that are non-urgent and need advice the school has an email address which is checked daily – this is: studentsupport@combertonvc.org.Students can also email this address to seek non-urgent support and advice.
WCCYM Chaplaincy Team
WCCYM (West Cambridge Christian Youth Ministries) provide a Chaplaincy Team to the college, to offer additional holistic support for staff and students.
The Chaplaincy team’s pastoral support for students includes one-to-one youth work support, targeted group work and detached youth work. There are also additional opportunities for spiritual development and reflection, encouraging respect and tolerance for all within a safe space. This happens through formal settings such as lessons and assemblies, and through informal conversations and groups.
The team also support staff through organised wellbeing activities, and pastoral support in a one-to-one setting.
Cherie Williamson heads up the WCCYM Chaplaincy Team at 最新麻豆视频, alongside WCCYM workers Susie Thomson and Nick Slater, as well as a small team of volunteers.
The Den
The Den is a support area to access at lunchtimes. All pupils are welcome, whether that is for a chat, to talk through any worries, or if a pupil would just like a quiet place to eat their lunch. Miss Baker (Student Support and Wellbeing Officer) and Mrs Callaghan (Centre Communication Support Specialist) are the staff members on duty and The Den is situated just outside the English office.
What do I do if My Child has a Mental Health Crisis?
If you feel that your child is unable to cope and is a risk to themselves or other people seek advice from 111 and dial 2 to get support from mental health teams. You could also book an emergency appointment with your GP during surgery opening hours. If you have an emergency dial 999 to get immediate support or go to A&E.
