Where can you get support from in school?
Mountain Rescue
Our Mountain Rescue Team runs timetabled interventions to support students to overcome any social and emotional barriers to their learning. Referrals for these interventions are considered during a weekly planning meeting. Any member of staff can make a referral to the panel. Parents, carers and students can request a referral by speaking to the student’s Head of Year. Students may access Mountain Rescue interventions for a time-limited period, usually for 6 weeks. Thrive is also able to support referred students during social times, before school, at break, lunch or after school.
Gideon Therapy
Gideon loves working with the students at Blaise High, and he even has his own dog walking club. There are many ways Gideon is part of our school community, and he very much enjoys his days spent at Blaise High helping students to learn and achieve their very best in all that they do.
