The Assembly received a presentation upon Becton School from Wendy Dudley (Headteacher) and David Caborn (Chair of Governors). It was noted that Becton School was a specialist facility for children with mental health problems and comprised four ‘lodges’ (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and Amber) which dealt with different areas of need. The facilities at the School were excellent, and the School had proved a real success so far in helping children and their families in dealing with mental health problems. |
