Mental Health Support

Mental Health Support

At Bradford Forster Academy we are passionate about supporting our students with a positive mental health. In order to do this we have a mental health first aid team, and a senior leader assigned to support our students mental health.

Within school we use a number of different interventions to support our students with their mental health, and are always looking to work in partnership with local agencies so that there is a wrap around care for all our students and families.

If your child feels low, and you are unaware how to support, please look at the links below – simply scan them with your camera phone and it will take you directly to the website which will provide all the support you need.

If you feel that you would like your child to access any additional support in school, please contact:

  • Mr A Russell (DSL and Mental Health Lead)
  • Miss C Bebb (DDSL)
  • Miss H Frayne (SEMH and Safeguarding Officer)
