Kooth Assembly - 19th April 2018
Mental Health Assembly
Here at Ken Stimpson school we take our students mental health seriously and already offer various different elements of support in school. We are keen to inform our students of the services that are also available to students outside of school and this week we were delighted to welcome Tim Coombe from Kooth into school. He delivered assemblies to all year groups talking about the services that Kooth has to offer young people in our school.
