Well-Being Team

As a leader and a teacher my aim has always been to ensure that every student has every opportunity to succeed and excel. When studying Psychology at University at both Undergraduate and Master Level it became very apparent to me the impact that good well-being support can have on a person’s ability to succeed. Wellbeing support to me is crucial because it plays a fundamental role in helping individuals maintain their mental, emotional, and physical health, which directly impacts their ability to learn, grow, and succeed. For students, in particular, the pressures of academic performance, social expectations, and future planning can be overwhelming. Wellbeing support provides them with the tools and resources they need to manage stress, build resilience, and navigate challenges effectively. My role involves providing expert guidance and training to all staff on safeguarding procedures, ensuring that everyone understands how to protect and support our students effectively. Out ultimate goal as a team is to ensure that students feel safe and that that they have a range of support they can access should they feel they need it.

As the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead at Trinity Sixth Form Academy, my primary responsibility is to ensure the safety and well-being of every student in our care. I work diligently to identify and address any safeguarding concerns, collaborating closely with staff, students, parents, and external agencies to maintain a secure and supportive environment. I am also here as an approachable point of contact for any student who needs assistance, whether they are facing issues at college or in their personal lives. My commitment is to create a space where all students feel safe, valued, and empowered to thrive at Trinity Sixth Form Academy.

As the SENDCo at Trinity Sixth Form Academy, my role is to ensure that all students with special educational needs and disabilities are fully supported in their journey to becoming life-ready learners. I am passionate about creating an inclusive and nurturing environment where every student feels valued and empowered to achieve their potential. By working closely with students, parents, and teachers, I develop personalised support plans that cater to each student’s unique strengths and challenges. My role also involves providing staff with the training and resources needed to deliver high-quality, inclusive education, as well as liaising with external professionals to enhance our support. At TSFA, we are committed to breaking down barriers to learning and providing the tools, confidence, and resilience needed for every student to thrive both now and in the future.

As a mental health mentor at college, my role is to provide guidance, support, and encouragement to students navigating the challenges of college life. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where students feel comfortable discussing their mental health concerns, stressors, and personal struggles. My aim is to listen actively, offer practical coping strategies, and connect students with additional resources such as counselling services or support groups when needed. By fostering a sense of understanding and empathy, I help students build mental toughness, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and maintain a balanced approach to their academic and personal lives. Ultimately, my goal is to empower students to prioritise their mental well-being, reduce stigma, and cultivate a positive and supportive college community.

As a Personal Progress Tutor specialising in wellbeing support at Trinity Sixth Form Academy, my primary role is to guide and nurture students through their academic journey while prioritizing their mental and emotional well-being. I provide one-on-one mentoring sessions where I help students set and achieve personal and academic goals, monitor their progress, and address any challenges they may face. My focus on wellbeing support means I am particularly attentive to the mental health needs of students, offering a safe space for them to express concerns, explore solutions, and access relevant resources. I work closely with the wider pastoral team, including mental health mentors and external support services, to ensure a holistic approach to each student’s welfare. By promoting resilience, self-awareness, and healthy coping strategies, I aim to empower students to navigate their time at Trinity Sixth Form successfully and with confidence, fostering a positive and supportive learning environment for all.
