Drugs, Alcohol and Solvent Awareness
This service forms part of the PSHE programme for Year 10 pupils:
- Pupils are provided with relevant information aiming to increase their awareness with regard to the issues surrounding drugs and alcohol.
- Pupils engage in group discussions and participate in practical learning.

We are also able to offer 1:1 meetings for pupils who may be causing concern with regard to their involvement with drugs and alcohol.
