Being at home for a prelonged period can be difficult, frustrating and lonely for some people and we know that pupils or other family members may feel low. It can be particularly challenging if you do not have much space or access to a garden.

It is important to remember to take care of your mind as well as your body and to get support if you need it. Stay in touch with family and friends over the phone or on social media.  As well as keeping in contact with family, friends and school, there are sources of support and information listed below that we hope you will find helpful.
