Student Support
If you have a worry or an issue, it’s always best to talk to a trusted 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.
In our CARE Curriculum lessons we learn about the definition and importance of having a trusted adult. Every student at Co-op Academy Belle Vue should know who their trusted adult is.
'Staff are crafting intentional culture of high expectations and warmth. Highest praise from a student ‘I just feel better, emotionally, when I am here.'
People you can talk to at school
You can speak to any member of staff you feel comfortable speaking to, any member of staff can be a trusted adult, but also remember, there are some members of staff who have special responsibilities for your welfare, like our Pastoral Team.

Self-Care
Doing little things to look after your wellbeing can be really important, for example:
- getting enough sleep
- eating something you really like and even making something for yourself
- doing something you find relaxing, like listening to music or watching your favourite film
- doing something you enjoy, like a favourite hobby or spending time with people you love
- spending time in nature, like going for a walk or visiting a local park
- getting active by going for a run, bike ride or playing a sport you enjoy.
