Here at Thomas Estley, we value the health, wellbeing and inclusion of all our students and staff.
Mental Health and Wellbeing has always been a central consideration within the school and within the wider community.
We have a number of different processes to help students who feel that they may need to talk to someone about their mental health or get support for someone they are concerned about.
As a school we take the mental health and wellbeing of our young people seriously, therefore we recommend that you contact us, and if necessary your GP, if you have any ongoing concerns about your child.
We at Thomas Estley are proud to be an inclusive school and to celebrate and support diversity.

Public Health England's advice and guidance for parents and professionals on supporting children and young people's mental health and wellbeing includes key actions you can take to support your child’s mental health and wellbeing, such as supporting safe ways to connect with friends. It also emphasises the importance of children continuing to remain fit and active and, wherever possible, having the 60 minutes of daily physical activity, recommended by the Chief Medical Officers.
Further advice and support to help pupils remain physically active are available from Youth Sport Trust and Sport England.
