WELLBEING AT TOYNBEE
The wellbeing of all members of the Toynbee community is important to us. This guidance outlines the support available to pupils and their families who are struggling with their wellbeing. The first point of call if you are worried about a child who attends Toynbee should be their tutor.
Our designated mental health lead is Mrs Hill: e.hill@toynbee.hants.sch.uk
