Drugs & Alcohol Awareness

Bishop Wordsworth's School take the issue of drugs and alcohol awareness for our pupils very seriously. We provide education on the topic through PSHE lessons, assemblies, external speakers and work with charities such as DHI Connect to keep our pupils safe. It is an issue we need to work together on, so if you do have any concerns please do get in touch.
