At CATS Cambridge, we recognize that boarding school life offers tremendous opportunities but can also present unique challenges to students’ mental health and wellbeing. For both international and domestic students, adapting to a new environment away from family and friends requires a strong support network. That’s why mental health support is a core part of our pastoral care programme, designed to help students thrive both academically and personally.
Our dedicated team of mental health professionals, house parents, and tutors work closely to monitor student wellbeing, ensuring timely support whenever needed. From the moment students arrive, we provide a welcoming environment where they feel safe to express their concerns. Regular check-ins and wellbeing workshops empower students to build resilience, manage stress, and develop healthy coping strategies throughout their boarding school journey.
We understand that each student’s mental health needs are unique. At CATS Cambridge, confidential counselling services are available for students experiencing anxiety, homesickness, or other challenges common in boarding school life. Our counsellors provide one-on-one sessions tailored to individual needs, offering tools and techniques that promote emotional wellbeing and academic success. This proactive approach helps students maintain a balanced lifestyle, even amid rigorous academic demands.
By integrating mental health support with academic and social development, CATS Cambridge creates a nurturing community where students can flourish. Our focus on mental health is especially important for international families seeking a boarding school that prioritizes holistic care. We are committed to preparing students not just for exams, but for life beyond school.
