Exams
Many students with medical and mental health issues find that the pressures of exams can exacerbate their conditions.
There is much that school staff can do to alleviate their worries eg ensuring key personnel in school have taken the time to discuss exam preparations with them.
For more detailed advice and support see here.
Well at School aims to provide information, advice and resources for everyone working with children and young people who are affected by a medical or a mental health condition. We also provide up to date information and practical strategies from our school staff, medical staff and students.
This will be of particular interest to:
- Teachers in mainstream and special schools
- Teaching assistants
- SENCOs
- Voluntary organisations
- Staff working in extended school provision
- Pupil Referral Units
- School Governors
- Head Teachers
- Officers responsible for Special Needs provision in Local Authorities
- Parents may also find the website helpful

"Hello, I’m Janette Steel, the Head Teacher at Chelsea Community Hospital School. We have developed this website to help teachers and staff in mainstream and special schools support their students who have medical or mental health issues. It is easy to become overwhelmed by the abundance of often contradictory information available on the internet, so we have collected the knowledge and experience of medical consultants, specialist teachers and students from our four hospitals here, to give you the information you need." |
