Supporting young people’s mental health

This follows a review of services by a government taskforce, which has found that too many young people are not getting the help they need. The reality is that as many as one in 10 five-to-16-year-olds has a mental disorder in the UK.

We’re very proud of our former pupil Annie Hart, who is currently campaigning for an increase of support for young people with mental health difficulties. Her campaign is being led via the charity, Young Minds, for whom she is an Activist. You can read her story and message in the Sunday Times, 15th March.

Annie joined Farlington after her own struggle at age 13. We put a structured programme in place to give her the additional support she needed and was lacking. Annie is one of our highest performing alumnae having achieved 9 As / A*s at
