Young Carers
At BGS, we are committed to identifying and supporting young carers within our school community. A young carer is anyone under 18 who provides regular practical or emotional care for a family
member. These responsibilities can have a significant impact on a young person's wellbeing, education, and life opportunities.
If you believe your child may be a young carer or you are a student who thinks this applies to you - our Young Carer Champion, Mr Hodgkin, is here to help.
MHST (Mental Health Support Team)
Healthy Minds Lincolnshire and Mental Health Support Teams have developed a range of online workshops to support children/young people and families learn new strategies to manage a variety of emotional wellbeing concerns.
Anti-Bullying
We are committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all our pupils. Bullying of any kind is anti-social, unacceptable and will not be tolerated at our school. If bullying does occur, all students should be able to report it and know that incidents will be dealt with promptly and in an appropriate manner.
To report bullying, use the button above or email beatbullying@bostongrammarschool.co.uk.
Safeguarding
If you suspect or believe a child is suffering, or is likely to suffer significant harm (including any form of mistreatment or abuse) you should ALWAYS report your concerns. If there is no immediate danger to the child, or if you need some advice or information, you can contact the Children Services Customer Service Centre on 01522 782111 (if you are a member of the public). If it is outside of normal office hours, you can contact the Emergency Duty Team on 01522 782333. In an emergency always dial 999.
If you have any safeguarding concerns please do not hesitate to contact one of the DSL team via the main school office.
