Parenting Services
We recognise that sometimes families need support too and we work closely with Hounslow Early Help Hub and other agencies to stay up-to-date with services that might be able to help.
For information about Hounslow Parenting Services please visit the Hounslow website for details on parenting courses or discuss with your child’s Pastoral Manager referrals which can be made to Hounslow for Family Workers or Social Care

Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing
We have created a directory of apps that our students have found useful in supporting their mental health and emotional wellbeing:
We have also started a series of webinars called Living Bolder Lives, aimed at providing no-nonsense, succinct advice and guidance to parents/carers around problems that they might be experiencing at home. Our first session is around supporting children and young people who self-harm. Click here to watch the webinar on YouTube.
Students should call Childline on 0800 11 11 straight away if they are concerned about their mental health or think they are in trouble,
If parents or carers feel that they need some support, they can call Young Minds for free on 0808 802 5544. They are open 9.30am to 4pm Monday to Friday.
