THE SANCTUARY

The Purpose and Benefit of the Sanctuary

The Sanctuary and Haven are our wellbeing suites. Their purpose is to provide our learners with a discreet location and someone that they can go to for help and support, if they should need it.

The staff are fully trained to support a range of Wellbeing concerns and have close links with specialist agencies if required.

Our Sanctuary and now the Haven have enabled students to engage with their education in a positive and supportive environment outside of the classroom.

The staff facilitate a number of small group and 1:1 wellbeing, behavioural and learning opportunities.

Young Carers

Supporting young carers in school is crucial to ensuring their overall wellbeing and academic success. Young carers have unique responsibilities such as caring for a family member with a disability or illness. At St Alban’s we support young carers by providing resources such as access to support groups. By providing a supportive environment, we can help young carers thrive both academically and personally.

If you or your child feels that you would benefit from this support then please contact us on 01495 765800. Also, please visit the website below for further help, information and advice for young carers, parents and guardians.
