Student Wellbeing

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.


  • talk@thomasestley.org.uk - allows pupils to send an email to the pastoral team
  • Student counsellor - referrals made through student Team Leader or Student Wellbeing Manager.
  • Mental Health first aid trained members of staff: Miss Plumb, Miss Sinclair and Miss Masters
  • Students are encouraged also to approach any member of staff that they feel confident talking to. Their tutor is a paint point of contact for all our young people.
  • All staff have been trained in what to do should a student approach them with concerns about their mental health or that of a friend.
  • Student Wellbeing Ambassadors
  • Student Wellbeing Zone - Support base open at break and lunchtimes for students who need a quiet, safe space or to request support
  • School nurse - referrals made through student Team Leader or Student Wellbeing Manager


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.

Barnardo’s See, Hear, Respond service, provides support to children, young people and their families who aren’t currently seeing a social worker or other agency, and who are struggling to cope with the emotional impacts of coronavirus (COVID-19). You can access via the ‘See, Hear, Respond’ service self-referral webpage or Freephone 0800 151 7015.

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.
