Tragic events in Manchester 22nd May 2017

As the full effects and impact of the tragic events in Manchester on Monday 22nd May 2017 unfold, staff at Our Lady & St John would like to extend sincere condolences to all those affected. They have been and will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

Please be assured that support will be offered to any of our pupils who have been affected or indeed who may become affected, as media coverage continues.

We believe it is important that we maintain normal routines, whilst allowing for opportunities for pupils, should they want to, to talk about the event and the issues surrounding it.

In line with NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guidelines, support will be offered in the first instance by our own staff, who pupils are familiar with; all staff will be given guidance on how to best provide this support. Should it be necessary, we can also access support from external agencies.

Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s Head of Year in the first instance, if you would like to discuss this support or any other matters relating to the tragic events.
