Warwickshire SEND Local Offer

As the holiday period draws to a close, it’s natural for many children and young people to feel anxious or uneasy about returning to school. Transitioning back into familiar routines after a break can be challenging, and these feelings are completely normal.

For some, the shift can be even harder. Changes in routine, heightened sensory experiences, and disruptions to their usual schedules can increase feelings of uncertainty and anxiety. If you do find this week a struggle, there are some great resources on the Young Minds website to help guide you.

If your child is anxious about school, or cannot go to school at all, read our tips and advice on how you can support their mental health.
