Lines of Communication
Every effort is made to provide strong links between home and school. It is a strong
partnership that results in a successful school career for pupils. At the start of the
school year, your child will be issued with a planner which we ask you to check and
sign weekly. All homework should be recorded here (as well as on Schoology) and
short notes of communication can be written between staff and parents.
Each fortnight the Head of School publishes a School Newsletter which will be
issued to parents. It keeps everyone informed about the life of the school in
curricular and extra-curricular areas and provides advance notice of important events
such as Parents Evenings and Inset Days.
At Heathside School we place great emphasis on the quality of pastoral care given to
our students. The Head of Learning and your child’s Form Tutor will oversee their
progress during their time at school. Each student is allocated a Tutor Group who
meet every day for registration. The Form Tutor is a key member of staff whom you
should get to know. They will carefully monitor your child’s development offering
guidance and support where necessary.
The Student Support Co-ordinators are available throughout the day if there are any
urgent queries. The Heads of Learning and Senior Staff are always available to see
parents by appointment.

Careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) is an essential part of the
support we offer to students at Heathside School. Effective careers support can help to
prepare young people for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life; it can
help them to make decisions and manage transitions as learners and workers. As options for
young people become more varied and complex, it is vital that we support them to develop
the knowledge and skills they need to make informed choices for their future.
Our careers programme at Heathside is a progressive programme which is designed to meet
students needs at each stage of their educational journey.
Below you will see what careers based activities and opportunities are available for Year 10.
Any additional presentations from career professionals or one off events are not included

Help your child to explore their future As part of our commitment to prepare students for a rapidly changing world, we are delighted to announce that we are using an innovative online resource called Start. Start will help your child to connect with their future career potential, develop their employability and help them to explore future career and study options at school or at home. How should my child use it? We ask students to create their own account for Start, which is accessible anytime on computers and compatible mobile and tablet devices. Your child can personalise their profile on Start with details about their skills, qualities, interests and work preferences. This provides a starting point for them to explore information matched to their personal preferences and interests. As they update their profile, Start will personalise this information, helping them to navigate the thousands of jobs, courses, providers and opportunities available. Start will help students to understand where they are on their journey and what’s important as they make their choices at GCSE, post-16 and post-18. We encourage you to use Start with your child at home. Encourage them to rate jobs, qualifications, colleges or universities so that we can see their preferences in order to support them better. What if I want to use Start myself? Parents can also use Start to find out more about jobs, training and study opportunities for yourself. Please do not log in using your child's user details and instead register yourself using the steps outlined below, creating your own username and password. For more information on Start or the support available for your son or daughter, please contact Miss Balson.

Wellbeing and Mental Health Our vision for Mental Health and Wellbeing is of a school community that promotes positive wellbeing and supports those who need it.
We know that when students are mentally and emotionally healthy, they will have greater self-esteem, form better relationships with family and friends and will be more resilient learners. To help us achieve this, it is important that everyone knows how they can get help and support if and when they need it.
Universal support – for everyone
• Tutors – Form tutors see children every morning and are the first point of contact. If students need help and support they should arrange to speak to their tutor during tutor time, at break or after school.
• Five Ways to Wellbeing – NHS campaign highlighting five steps we can all take to improve our mental wellbeing making us feel happier, more positive and able to get the most from life. As a school we promote this so that children develop an awareness of the five ways to wellbeing, giving them the knowledge and skills to proactively take care of their mental health.
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/improve-mental-wellbeing/
Connect – connect with the people around you: your family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. Spend time developing these relationships. Be active – you don't have to go to the gym. Take a walk, go cycling or play a game of football. Find an activity that you enjoy and make it a part of your life. Keep learning – learning new skills can give you a sense of achievement and a new confidence. So why not sign up for a club, start learning to play a musical instrument, or figure out how to fix your bike? Give to others – even the smallest act can count, whether it's a smile, a thank you or a kind word. Larger acts, such as volunteering at your local community centre, can improve your mental wellbeing and help you build new social networks. Be mindful – be more aware of the present moment, including your thoughts and feelings, your body and the world around you. Some people call this awareness "mindfulness". It can positively change the way you feel about life and how you approach challenges.
• Kooth – online counselling support commissioned by Surrey NHS. Young people can log in to access free, safe and anonymous online counselling from BACP accredited counsellors every day until 10pm. Sometimes evenings are busy so it is good for students to log in early to speak to counsellors. The website also has forums, groups and articles. www.kooth.com
• Childline – counselling support on the phone, online or by email. Phone calls can
be made 24 hours a day by calling 0800 1111. Young people don’t need credit and
it won’t show on the phone bill. www.childline.org.uk
20
Targeted support – for those that need some extra help
• Student Support Co-ordinator and Head of Learning can offer help and
support and signpost students to the right source of help.
• NHS Youth Counselling Service – counselling for 12–24 year olds. Free
service, 6 sessions. Self-referrals from students or parents by calling 0345
6002516
https://www.sabp.nhs.uk/mindsightsurreycamhs/services/early-intervention/youth-counselling-service
• CYP Haven – centres in Guildford, Staines, Redhill and Epsom. Run by Mental
Health professionals and youth workers from CAMHS, students can drop in
without an appointment for support with their worries or Mental Health concerns.
Students can go with their parents or on their own. Check in advance to see
which centre is open each evening/weekend. Good for those in a crisis or
awaiting a CAMHS referral. Also run a range of workshops throughout the year.
https://www.cyphaven.net/
• ELSA – Referrals made through SSCos and Heads of Learning. Mrs Durrant
offers Emotional Literacy support, usually through six weekly sessions, for
example if students are struggling with anger or friendship issues.
• School Counselling Service – Referrals made through SSCos and Heads of Learning. Students will usually work with a counsellor for 6 sessions. We have limited capacity for counselling in school and encourage students and their parents to speak to their Student Support Co-ordinator or Head of Learning for more information about other organisations that might also be helpful.
• Home School Link Worker - Referrals made through SSCos and Heads of
Learning. Rebecca Atkinson offers support to students and their families at home
and in school. This may include practical issues, signposting to relevant services
and emotional support.
• Specialist support – for those who have a diagnosable mental health
disorder or whose struggle with emotional health is interfering in their day
to day life
• Mindsight CAMHS referral – The Child and Adolescent Health Services (CAMHS) support children and young people who have a diagnosable mental health disorder or who are struggling with their emotional and mental health. Referrals can either be made through the GP or by the relevant SSCO or HoL. If young people have already been referred, parents can contact the CAMHS Mindsight team on 0300 222 5755 for an update on their referral.
• In case of emergency – If a child is in a crisis or is at risk of harming themselves or someone else, students should be assessed by a medical professional as soon as possible. Usually, this would be Accident and Emergency but if a CYP Haven centre is open (see above) then young people may prefer to be assessed there.

Heathside School
One Way System
Keeping Students Safe on Journeys to and from School To ensure all students have a safe journey to and from school there is a one-way system in operation that all parents who bring their child to school by car are requested to observe at the times detailed below. The one-way system means that school traffic at these peak times does not use Brooklands Lane but instead uses Mayfield Road and March Road. For those of you who are not familiar with the one-way system further information can be found on the school website. All parents are asked to avoid using Brooklands Lane during peak hours i.e. between 8:00am and 8:40am and 2:30pm and 3:10pm. Finally, please can we appeal to all parents to park considerately when using the one-way system to avoid any inconvenience to our neighbours in March Road and Mayfield Road.
