Well Being & Support
Welcome to our Well-Being and Family Support Hub
At Clacton County High School we recognise the importance of early help to offer support, to help meed the needs of students and their families.
Early Help is everyone's responsibility; together we will make sure that children, young people and their families are safe, happy and ready for school, work and life's challenges.
As a school we take the support of our students very seriously both academically and pastorally.
• Form tutors are accessible for students to discuss any problems or difficulties they may be experiencing.
• Subject teachers are always available outside of lesson time to assist with any difficulties students may be having understanding what they are being taught, problems they are having with completing homework or anything else related to that particular subject. This support sits along side the numerous revision and coursework sessions organised across the subject areas - Extra-Curricular Sessions.
Our Year Leaders and Pastoral managers are on-hand throughout the day to help with any problems that students encounter at school and endeavour to resolve problems before they become overwhelming and require reactive intervention - please do not hesitate to contact them via our reception - admin@cchs.school
In addition, we have an extensive Safeguarding Team with a wealth of experience who triage and signpost support for our young people and families. The Safeguarding Office, where students can go if they are concerned or worried about anything, is opposite Room B11. The Safeguarding team have a dedicated Safeguarding Webpage, for students, parents & carers alike, as well as the MyConcern!Platform for reporting your concerns.
