We are living in very unusual times at the moment, but I am sure that you all understand the importance of the Social Distancing and Lockdown measures put in place by the Government. However, these measures will be impacting us all in different ways and some of you may be struggling with your emotions at this time. This is totally understandable and it is okay to feel this way but it is very important that you talk about how you are feeling and do not just keep it to yourself. Opening up to people can help you gain perspective and find solutions that you may not have been able to reach on your own. Sharing our experiences can also help us feel less alone.
Kooth is a safe, confidential and anonymous mental health and emotional well-being platform for children and young people, accessible through any connected device. You can view a short video about the service here. Please have a look as you/your child may find it helpful. Also, if you want direct support from school, please do consider emailing your Tutor, Head of Year and/or send an email to: welfare@teignmouth.devon.sch.uk
We are all in this together and we are still here as a community to support you.
Take care and stay safe.

Safeguarding and Child Protection Officer
