Bereavement
Everyone deals with loss differently and there is no right or wrong way. There are different types of bereavement that children and families encounter, as sadly death is a part of the cycle of life. Whether it be the loss of a pet, neighbour, grandparent, releative or parent, sibling or friend there are lots of services available to help children and families through this difficult time.
Where possible, school will always support children and families as best they can. See below some external organisations who offer dedicated support.
