Wellbeing Hub

Welcome to our Wellbeing Hub, with a range of useful resources and advice, which we will update regularly. 
 

Here is a link to our online worry/incident reporting box: tinyurl.com/WestHatchWB 

 You can use this to inform the school of any worries that you currently have.
This could be issues with peers, anxiety, stress concerns and anything that you feel we can help you with at school. You can also use this to report incidents of bullying or other concerns that you have.
