Supporting our families

Since 1st-7th February marks Children's Mental Health Week, we would like to take the opportunity to highlight where support can be found if your child, or indeed yourselves as parents, are struggling to manage your Mental Health in what are undoubtedly, very challenging circumstances.

As well as staff checking in with pupils via their remote learning, we are currently in the process of making well-being phone calls for all pupils. If you are concerned about your child during this period, we are still available at school to offer advice and support. You can contact school reception on (01384) 816015 or email at info@wordsley.dudley.sch.uk and a member of staff will get back to you. Alternatively, external support can be found via the sources here.
