From the Director | Student Wellbeing Bulletin | Kingston Youth Services - Roll for Respect Event | Contact form | Helpful contacts
I would like to extend a huge thank you to the school community for the welcome I have received this year. It has been a pleasure getting to know many of the students throughout the year and I look forward to what 2024 may bring at Cheltenham Secondary College.
The Wellbeing team have worked hard to provide high-quality mental health support to the young people at the school.
We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.
Take care, be kind to yourself and be kind to others.
