Did you know that in 2020, Wolverhampton had the worst rate of alcohol related deaths in the UK?
As part of our personal development programme, it is important that we educate our pupils on the risks associated with consuming alcohol as part of their health education. In providing the local context, we can also raise the importance of tackling this serious issue within our community.
We work closely with the Local Authority to share supportive resources available in our City and these are signposted below.
Today, our pupils have taken part in an assembly with Ms Gautam (Director of Science) which focused on Alcohol Awareness Week and the importance of raising awareness of this.
