EikonlogoBroadwater School has an established partnership with The Eikon Charity—a Surrey based charity committed to supporting the well-being, aspirations and resilience of Young People.  As such, in a joint venture, Broadwater School and The Eikon Charity are able to provide an experienced and full-time Youth Specialist to the school, which all of Broadwater’s students are able to access support from.

Our youth specialist, Sophie Lamb, works within the Pastoral Team alongside Leaders of Achievement Mr Russell Wait (Phoenix), Miss Lindsay Lee (Aquila), Mrs Susan Looseley (Pegasus) as well as Mrs Rachel Jones (Home School Link Worker) and Mrs Jenny Hanson (Pastoral Lead).

The team identify and support Broadwater’s young people, who might be experiencing one or more of the following challenges in their life.
