Mental Health and Wellbeing 

At Windwhistle, we are deeply committed to supporting and nurturing our children and families. We believe every child, and Family, has the ability to thrive. We also know that there can be times in our lives when, for whatever reason, things can make this difficult. 

We have a caring, professional, and knowledgeable Pastoral Team, who are here to support parents and children 

Our Pastoral Team

Between us, we offer you an ‘open door’, whether your concerns are about your child’s life at school or at home, attendance, family relationships, health, housing, finance and benefit eligibility or anything else that is concerning you. We are there to listen and give professional guidance. Please contact us directly or through the school office, so that if you need us, we can be there for you.
