The Purcell School’s Counsellor is Nicky Morris. If you would like to speak to her in confidence about anything that is worrying you, you can make an appointment to see her in the Medical Centreor you can ask any member of the House Team to help.

Remember if you are worried about anything you can talk to any adult who you trust and is a member of The Purcell School’s staff.

Please help to keep the school secure, by following these simple rules:

Never admit anyone to a building who you do not know and is not wearing a visitors’ badge. If you see someone in a school building, in the playground or wandering around between the buildings without appropriate ID, tell a member of staff immediately. Always wear your school lanyard with your photo visible. Please note that these rules apply to parents too!
