Mental Health and Wellbeing
We advocate a child centered approach to learning and work tirelessly to ensure that any stigma around mental health is removed.
The school's mental health lead is Mrs Taslima Vadiya
Heads of Year, Learning Coordinators and class teachers all support learners with this area.
Enabling learners to be resilient and having a positive mindset is embedded in all we do at BMGS. However, we recognise that there are times in many peoples lives when they may need an extra bit of support.
The school has Be Kind To My Mind ambassadors to support your child. Be Kind To My Mind is a Bolton Campaign to help reduce the stigma around mental health. Their local message to young people is that 'it's okay to talk'. We have a number of way that we can support your child with mental health. Please get in touch with the school for more information.
As a School we work with Botlon Mental Health Support Team (MHST) which is part of the NHS. They are a team working in schools across Bolton to support Student with Mental Health difficulties. You can find out more in the following documents.
