The Michael Barnard Charitable Trust

We are proud to work in partnership with The Michael Barnard Charitable Trust, a local charity committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of young people and their families.

The charity provides our pupils with responsive, personalised support from qualified counsellors, mentors and life coaches. This may include help with anxiety, bereavement, bullying, examination pressure, low confidence and other challenges affecting a young person’s wellbeing or engagement with school.

The team works closely with school staff to understand each pupil’s individual needs. Through this support, pupils are helped to explore their feelings, develop effective coping strategies and build confidence and resilience.

We are extremely grateful for the valuable contribution the charity makes to the wellbeing of our pupils and the wider Cornelius community.
