We’re here to help you tackle exam stress

We know it can get stressful as we approach exams season, with students planning revision, preparing for deadlines and creating study timetables. 

We want you to know that as a Holy Cross student, help is always available and there will always be someone you can speak to for support. 

For Upper Sixth:  

Our Counselling team has set up a booking form for any Year Two students who need to speak to someone urgently.  

Please ask any member of staff – whether that’s a teacher, Progress Tutor or at Student Services – for the referral link to book time with Joanna. 

For all students: 

Everyone at Holy Cross has access to Togetherall – it’s a digital mental health support service which is available online 24/7 and is completely anonymous so you can express yourself freely and openly. You just need to register/login using your Holy Cross email address. 

Professionally-trained staff monitor the community to ensure the safety and anonymity of all members.  

In addition to Togetherall's online community, you will have access to a wealth of useful resources and can work through tailored self-help courses covering topics such as anxiety, sleep, weight management, depression and many more.
