Student Support
The student mental health team were selected for showing an interest, understanding, and natural aptitude for empathy and listening skills. They know that if they are concerned for the welfare of another student, they should tell a staff member to ensure that responsibility is passed on.
They meet at least once a half term to share ideas and recommend ways that staff at The Levels School can support the students’ mental health. As our student team bring forward new ideas, we will update this webpage so that these can be shared.
