Student’s welfare is really important to Wyke Sixth Form College, therefore, we have dedicated this emotional well-being blog to you.

We would also really appreciate your input. If you have any themes you would like exploring or any positive experiences you would like to share, please email: marketing@wyke.ac.uk. 

Keep a look out for our next post later this week.
