Dealing with loss and worry during coronavirus

We know that our school community is hugely affected by what is going on around us at this difficult time. Lives are changing and children may have picked up worries and fears about the virus and the possibility that they or someone they love and depend on may get ill.  We are also aware that children will also pick up on other worries parents and carers may have about the situation. For children who suffer a loss or have already been bereaved, anxiety may be worse.

As a school we wanted to highlight key support that families may wish to access if ever needed. 

Please remember, you are not alone.

We're here to support you.
