As a qualified Senior Mental Health Lead, Mrs Counter has a more strategic role in school, with responsibility for the mental health and wellbeing of students, parents and staff. She works with students with moderate to high needs, and liaises with external agencies to provide support where needed. 

Having gained experience in school as a Student Support Officer, Mrs Cooper joined the Wellbeing Team in 2023. Mrs Cooper's role involves working with both individuals and groups of students to provide low-level mental health and wellbeing support as needed. She works closely with our younger students to support their transition and to identify and address any issues as soon as possible. 

Students are referred to the Wellbeing Team by the Pastoral Team. All students who are referred are then seen by Mrs Counter for a “triage” appointment to assess the level of need. Mrs Counter and Mrs Cooper will then support identified students either through group or 1:1 work. Where necessary, they also make referrals to external agencies such as Thrive Hull (formerly HeadStart), Mind or CAMHS. If you would like to speak to either Mrs Counter or Mrs Cooper, please call the school on 01482 342229 during school hours and they will be happy to help you.
