Children

Most children experience the most loving and secure childhoods possible. Unfortunately, some children do still suffer abuse. We have a full curriculum and support system, in school, to suppport children to grow up to be well-rounded and great members of their community. We do also have support for children, for whom this is not the case.

Adults

Growing up and reaching adulthood is usually a wondeful experience. Some of us achieve academic qualifications, pass practical courses, find a partner, have children, work etc. Adult life can be very challenging, especially if you have had a difficult childhood. There is help out there for you. please speak to someone in school or use the resurces below.
