Student Wellbeing
Student Wellbeing is a priority at Ash Green School. The web page will provide you with further signposting of where you can get support.
Meet the Team
If you have anything you want to discuss, then you can contact your progress manager or the following key staff:
Young Carer Designated Teacher & Mental Health Lead: Mrs S Morgan – sarah.morgan2@ashgreenschool.org.uk
Young Carers
At Ash Green School, we use a MACA survey to help identify any students that may be young carers. We have a Young Carer Charter to support students within school and offer a half termly social event for students.
Mental Health Support
We have a range of support offers available at Ash Green School, this includes counsellors, working with a trailblazing project with the Mental Health in School’s Team where they do low level cognitive behaviour therapy focusing on anxiety, panic, phobia and worry. We can also do referrals to CAMHs.
The school has Mental Health Ambassadors that provides peer support using resources from the Mental Health Foundation.
Medical
Mrs Winterburn oversees the medical care plans and works closely with students to ensure that we have an inclusive provision in place to support all students needs.
