Pastoral Help & Advice
At Croxley Danes, we believe that positive emotional wellbeing and mental health are crucial to enable students to feel happy both in themselves and at school. When students enjoy positive mental health and wellbeing, they are better able to realise their own potential, cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and fruitfully and make a contribution to their wider community.
To this end, we have an active programme in place through Personal Development that focuses on aspects such as resilience, keeping safe online, developing a ‘protective layer’, bullying and mental wellbeing to name but a few. Alongside this curriculum, students have access to approachable staff who are available to offer personalised support whenever it is needed.
However, whilst we encourage all students to feel comfortable in approaching their parent, form tutor, Head of Year or any member of staff, we understand that sometimes this may be something they feel unable to do. In such cases, there are a number of support websites and phone numbers students can access, details of which can be found below.
If you are a parent concerned about the wellbeing of your child and would like the pastoral team to contact you, please email enquiries@croxleydanes.herts.sch.uk.
