Counsellor’s Room
A private, quiet room where a child can talk to a trained counsellor without the whole school knowing about it.
The counsellor's room is deliberately away from the corridor traffic, with a door that closes and no glass panel. A child can walk in during a break, or be referred by a class teacher or a parent.
The school counsellor handles academic difficulty, examination anxiety, friendship and behaviour matters, and adolescent-stage concerns, and refers on to an external specialist where that is the right step. What is said in the room stays in the room, with the single exception of a disclosure that requires action under our child-protection protocol.
