Coping with Change
Partial school closures can be a difficult time for students and parents and whilst academic work will have been set by staff there are other aspects of the day to day school life that will be missing for many students.
We have collated a list of useful links and guidance to support both students and parents:
-
How to look after your wellbeing during the coronavirus outbreak
-
Looking after your mental health during the Coronavirus outbreak
-
