Throughout your school career there may be times when you need to talk to someone. Perhaps you have had a rough time on the bus or another boy has insulted you about your appearance or personality. Perhaps you have had some bad results in your mock exams and really need to talk.

At LRGS we are proud of the low level of bullying however, there are always cases of difficulty wherever you are. Therefore you need support. There are many people who can help. Friends are always there for you as are the prefects. Both of these groups of people often have first hand experience of how to deal with all your problems – and are often far better than a teacher’s watchful eye. However the school does provide a wide range of different people you can call upon:

Your first point of call is your Form Teacher. He/she is there to give you all the paperwork and information you need as well as registering you in the morning. However, they are also there to help you with worries and doubts you may have. They have been teachers for a long time some of them and they have abundant experience of the tribulations of Sixth Form life. The Head of Sixth Form is another person you can rely on. If you are a boarder, Housemasters are there for you. The Pastoral Deputy Head is there for just that - pastoral care. And the other staff will always help.

We have a School Chaplain and some Independent Listeners who are there to help. Medical Centre personnel are available for all your medical needs at all times.

We even have an email and a text based system to give anonymous information about bullying – should you ever need it. All these messages are treated with strictest confidence.

There is a lot in place to support you if needed but, hopefully, you will never need it.
