Return to School Last week it was wonderful to welcome so many students back to the school campus and see the physical return to school. For some students we are aware that due to Covid, the physical return to campus currently has not been possible but we look forward to welcoming them back after the Easter break. We continue to follow all government guidelines with regards to the return to school and have been successfully testing all pupils on site as well as following guidelines on face masks and bubbles. We hope, as we continue to navigate the roadmap out of British Covid restrictions, that life will continue to reflect more forms of normality as we move through the coming weeks. For many, returning to school has been exciting and it has been nice to see friends and teachers in person, for others we are fully aware that this will have caused certain levels of anxiety and different emotions. We are using this edition of Outside the Box to continue to provide resources to help those that may be feeling these differing emotions and to highlight key areas of support that are available outside of the school community. As we approach the one-year anniversary of lockdown and the Covid-19 Pandemic n the UK, this will also be on some young people’s minds and it is important that we engage in open conversations about how they are feeling. CAMHS have produced an interesting piece for parents to help with these conversations as well as providing food for thought with regards to how we come across as adults to young people.
