Well-Being

The well-being of our students, staff and the whole community matters to us here at St John Bosco College.  On this page we have links to a number of resources about supporting young people's well-being and mental health which we hope that you will find helpful.

St John Bosco College is the Lead School for the NHS Trailblazer Cluster here in Battersea and have a team of Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners who work from the school supporting children at SJBC and our partner schools in the local area.  You can find out more about their work below.

The UK Trauma Council has put out some materials which may be useful for schools and for parents. Please note this is NOT to imply that all children will experience traumatic reactions or be traumatised by COVID19 (and or other experiences) but we also are aware that both in the shorter term and longer term some of our children and YP will be impacted by these events.
