Habs Boys is a place where students can feel safe and happy. But we also know that, for whatever reason, sometimes they need a little extra support.

We are here to help. After all, we understand that young people can often have worries and concerns. Your child may just need some caring reassurance, or we can advise about further intervention if needed.

We prepare students for all aspects of life; therefore, we place great importance on the social and emotional health and wellbeing of every student.

Whatever may be going on

Whatever your child may be feeling, we want them to know they can talk to us. We will always do our best to help. For example, sometimes young people struggle with worries such as:

  • Their self-esteem or emotional wellbeing
  • Problems with friendships or other relationships
  • Their schoolwork
  • Health problems for themselves or their loved ones
  • Family breakdowns
  • Major changes in family circumstances
  • Bereavements
  • Anything else that matters to them

Your child can talk to us

Young people spend a lot of their waking hours in school, making it a major part of their life. So please let your child know that when they are struggling, a good first step is to talk to someone.

They may feel able to talk to a member of staff they trust. We can be surprisingly flexible in helping to manage situations, providing support with how your child feels, and easing any pressure they may be under.

We have dedicated staff members responsible for pastoral care. Otherwise, you or your child can talk to:

  • Your child’s form tutor
  • Their Head of House or Deputy Head of House
  • Their Head of Section or Deputy Head of Section
  • The School Nursing Team or School Counsellor
  • Mrs C E Shooter (Deputy Head, Pastoral)
