Student Care during COVID-19

During the COVID-19 pandemic it is really important that students remain safe. If you have any issues regarding the safety or wellbeing of a student please contact the school using the following email address: safeguarding@brookeweston.org.

Student Care and Inclusion

Student Care is a place where safety and wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. The team work closely with tutors to extend the outstanding provision and provide students with advice and guidance for any worries or concerns students have, however big or small you feel they may be.
