At Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys we aim to embed the importance of Healthy Well-being and Good Mental Health in our ethos.
We are proud to have received the Well-being Award for Schools in November 2022, which focused on changing the long-term culture of the school, so that mental health and well-being sit at the heart of the school.
Our Sixth Form team of Well-being Ambassadors support students at clubs and throughout the school where required.
The website links and documents below provide some well-being/mental health resources that we hope will be helpful for our students and their families.
