Wellbeing
Mental Wellbeing is how we are feeling, how we look after ourselves and how we manage life’s ups and downs.
Our Mental Wellbeing is really important and can change from day to day, week to week and even year to year.
Djanogly City Academy is committed to providing our Scholars with the very best start in life.
We understand that every Scholar is different and we will provide the individual support and guidance that will allow your child to reach their full potential both academically and as a young person ready to enter the wider world.
