Wellbeing

We know that, as parents and carers, your most important priority is the wellbeing of your child — we also want every child to be happy and safe. However, we recognise that sadly, this is not always possible. The Safeguarding Team are always here to help if you, or your child, are struggling. We want you to know that you are not alone if at times you find it difficult, and there are lots of resources and organisations that can also help. We have posted some resources below which we hope that you will find useful. However, please reach out if what you need is not here.

The safeguarding team can be contacted on: safeguarding@gladesmore.com OR contact the school reception and ask to be put through to us.
