Boarders Handbook - Crescent House

Where can I find help if I need it? House and School Staff  The easiest place for you to find help is the house staff. There will always be a member of staff in the house  in the evening and the weekend and the house matron will be in the house all day during the week. Never  be afraid of asking a member of the house staff for help. They will always do their best to fix the problem.  School Counsellor  Sometimes you might want to talk to someone who is not one of the teachers or a member of your family.  There is a School Counsellor who is a trained expert with lots of experience in helping young men your age.   Designated Safeguarding Leads  There are a number of teachers at school who have a special responsibility for child protection (looking after  all of the pupils). They are Mr Hindley (the Deputy Head Pastoral), Mr Kendry (the Head of Boarding), Mr  Crisp (the Middle Master), Mrs Morris (the Senior Nurse), and Mr Gooding (the Director of Wellbeing).  Health Centre  The Health Centre is also a good place to go for help. You can go for help about medical issues but they  are happy to help you with other problems as well. The nurses are very kind and understanding.  Prefects  Sometimes you may not want to speak to an adult about a problem you have. School and House prefects  are senior pupils who have proven that they are mature and sensible.They know the school very well and  will be able to help you find the support you need if they can’t provide it themselves.  How do I get the most out of boarding?  6
