Be Well Tips
School Closure or Self-isolation: Advice for Teenage Students
The school closure might make you feel worried, uncertain, nervous – or you might be excited about the possibility of not being at school.
All these emotions are totally natural. We can use this situation to help us become more resilient: keep the following tips in mind to help you get the most out of a difficult experience.
Talking to your kid about Coronavirus
The fast-moving developments and intensive news coverage in relation to coronavirus can be challenging for parents.
The following tips for parents compiled by our Cognita Education and Wellbeing Team are designed to help when discussing the issue with your child.
Maintaining Wellbeing During School Closures
These are uncertain times as a parent. As well as not being able to tell your child what is or isn’t going to happen in the coming weeks, you will also need to oversee their learning at home.
It is natural that you may feel anxious about this, but some of these tips may be helpful.
Sleep during Covid-19
The Covid-19 Pandemic is an extreme and global crisis,
which is hugely demanding on our physical and mental
health. Now, more than ever, we should think about why
and how sleep plays such a critical part in improving our
health.
Be Well from our Cognita family
Screen Competitions
We know how important it is to keep a balance between online learning and screen time.
Our Secondary departments have launched creative competitions for students to stay away from the screen, and let their imagination run wild!
The Coronavirus
A youth theatre project where a group of BSB Drama students will record their teenage experience during the coronavirus pandemic weekly.

Keeping
Our PE & Sports team wants our community to keep fit and healthy during this long period of confinement.
They are constantly challenging us to exercise and keep active.
If you are struggling for ideas, pick a workout from our PE forum Padlet or take one of the daily challenges.
They are great fun and will help release the pressure of these days!
Quarantine
Need some advice to make life a little more bearable whilst we are all stuck at home?
