Who can I speak to if I have a problem?

You can speak to any member of school staff, in the first instance you may wish to speak to your Form Tutor or Head of House.

Mrs. N. Lillywhite, Mrs. M. Philp, Mrs. L. Rutter and Mr. S. Harrison are responsible for safeguarding at the Academy. You can speak to any member of the safeguarding team.

Is there anyone I can speak to who does not work at the Academy?

Mrs. K. Swanwick is the School Nurse. She operates a 'drop-in' service on Tuesday lunchtimes in the office next to ICT2 (near the Theatre).  

Are there any professionals that I can speak to?

Mrs. D. Furnival is the Academy's BACP qualified counsellor. You would need to be referred by your Head of House, so should discuss this with them in the first instance.

The Academy also has access to an external counselling service, if you would prefer to speak to a professional not connected with the school. Again, you should discuss this with your Head of House.
