York High School has developed some really useful health and wellbeing advice and support under the umbrella, YHS Cares. This has been designed to help support with pupils’ health and wellbeing.
Pupils and parents can find help and advice across a range of topics and links directing to websites for further advice and support.
Anyone with concerns can contact the Pastoral Leaders and Pupil Welfare Office or Miss Masterman.
In 2020, one in six children (16%) aged five to 16 had a probable mental health disorder up from one in nine (11%) in 2017.
It is worrying and stressful for any parent to see their child having difficulty with their mental health, and when you search for information it can be hard to know where to start. That’s why we’ve compiled ‘Mental Health Difficulties in Children and Young People. A Toolkit for Parents’. It is designed to provide an overview of the key topics, signpost to further information from trusted sources, and share insights from parents and young people who have been through it.
This toolkit will help you to:

What an Unmissable day we have had...
This morning we started the day with our fantastic end of term Blue & Platinum Ticket draws - handing out vouchers for H&M, Playstation & Amazon for the lucky Blue Ticket winners, and the big one, a £250 Amazon Voucher to our Platinum winner, Daenerys!
Mr Kumar then celebrated with our RAS Achievers, Andrea & Carter, both nominated by members of SLT.
And we cannot ignore the fantastic 'SINGO BINGO' which has been absolutely amazing.
Have a fantastic Summer - We will see you all in September!
