Health & Wellbeing

The College has achieved the Healthy College Award, the Navajo Award, and we are Stonewall School Champions. The College has a comprehensive Health & Wellbeing and Enrichment Programme which is supported by a number of external agencies across the country, working in partnership with the College’s Health & Wellbeing Co-ordinator.

They work to local and national campaigns to raise awareness on issues that affect young people, and offer them access to support. Their programme is underpinned by the 5 Ways to Wellbeing: Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning, Give.

They work to a calendar of events which includes:

• Events such as Freshers’ Fayre and Diversity Day
• Awareness Workshops such as Healthy Relationships, Diversity, Anti-bullying, Internet and Social Media Safety, Hate Crime, Knife Crime, HIV Awareness and Community Safety
• A 5-day, 9 to 5 Drop-in Service in The POD to discuss issues in a safe and confidential space

• Healthy Cooking and Eating

• Self-Harm and Suicide
