The quality of advice and guidance that we provide for students
at Burnt Mill is extremely important to us. At Burnt Mill
we strive to ensure that the outcomes of EVERY CHILD MATTERS
(ECM) are delivered through a comprehensive network of internally
and externally provided support.
These ECM outcomes are:
- Being Healthy
- Staying Safe
- Enjoying and Achieving
- Making a positive contribution
- Economic well being
|
|
We are also committed to providing support that
recognises the individual
needs of each child and that our support needs to be a personalised
experience.
Each tutor group is assigned two tutors so that students can
access more regular, personalised adult support. A comprehensive
system of group, one to one and subject specific mentoring
is in place co-ordinated by the Directors of Learning for each
year group. A group of Learning Mentors work closely with specific
students in both key Stages and with the able, gifted and talented.
Students can also access a range of external agencies such
as Young Concern counselling and Connexions careers support.
A
number of these agencies can be contacted through the link
from this page.
