The aim of this video is to provide you with some additional guidance as to how qualifications across all subjects will be awarded in 2021.

We are delighted to have been able to secure guest speakers who will, alongside our own staff, address parents and carers on the significant issue of mental wellbeing. The video will include presentations from experts in the field of mental health and wellbeing, including, Jacqui Duckham, a senior educational psychologist in social and emotional mental health, and Lisa Clemmett, a Public Health Nurse, who works for Bolton Children's Integrated Health and Wellbeing Service. Additionally, we have information provided by Heather Hook from Kooth, an online mental wellbeing community and Miss Angus from Smithills who will share tips on how to support children whilst they are working from home.
