Learning at BVGA
We promote good mental wellbeing for all our pupils, including providing a structured school environment with clear expectations. This is paired with an individualised response when behaviour issues might be a result of educational, mental health, other needs or vulnerabilities. We are committed to supporting all pupils to achieve excellent educational outcomes, and strive to help pupil overcome any barriers that may prevent such achievement.
The academy ensures that our clear response systems and processes used to identify possible mental health problems are followed, including routes to escalate for external support.
We work in partnership with Place2Be, a children's mental health charity with over 25 years' experience working with young people and families. Place2Be provides mental health support in schools through one-to-one and group counselling using tried and tested methods backed by research.
Our Place2Be Mental Health Practitioner is Diane Towns. Diane is based in school 3 days a week.
All students are offered the opportunity to speak to Diane about any worries or concerns they may have. Please read this letter that explains the service.
If you DO NOT wish for your child to take part in Place2Talk sessions, please complete this online form.
