Who to talk to if you are worried about something
If you have a worry or an issue, it’s always best to talk to an adult about it. On this page you will find information about who you can talk to at the academy, and some organisations you can talk to outside of school hours.
If you have any problems or issues, use this button to send an email to our student welfare team. Log in using your academy Google account – don’t forget to add @cam.coop to the end of your username.
People you can talk to during a school day
You can speak to any member of staff you feel comfortable speaking to, but remember, there are some members of staff who have special responsibilities for your welfare:
- your Tutor or Head of Family and your Year Group’s Learning & Pastoral Support Officer (LPSO)
- Student Services and the Attendance Team
- staff from the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities team or the English as an Additional Language team
- our Academy Counsellor
- our Child Protection Team if you have serious concerns about something
