Slide 11 - Coping with Exam Stress Be careful about what you eat and drink: Try to eat a well balanced diet, eating at least three regular meals a day Eat foods which will release energy slowly and are likely to have a calming effect Food or drink high in sugar may give you instant energy,  but in the long term may wind you up leaving you feeling more nervy and edgy than you did before Limit your consumption of caffeine particularly found in tea, coffee, fizzy soft drinks Excess caffeine tends to heighten arousal, increases "jittery" feelings, can also impair your concentration and may keep you awake at night

Slide 26 - Help and Support If I’m worried about anything, where do I go for help? Parents, Family, Family Friend or Best Friend - sometimes these people may appear very busy. If you want to talk something over it is a good idea to tell them you need to talk with them and ask when would be a good time. This will then hopefully mean you get some quality time to talk over anything you are concerned about Teacher/Other School Staff – can also be very busy people. Again, ask if you could see them and then they can suggest a good time to talk with you GP - you may be used to going to your doctor with your parents/carers but you are able to see the doctor without them. To book a doctor’s appointment you will need to ring or visit the surgery and make the booking or attend an open surgery which is usually organised as first come first served. Each doctor’s surgery tends to operate a different system so you may need to ask the receptionist at the surgery how to go about booking an appointment. You are able to take a friend with you if you prefer School Nurse - every school has a school nurse team who work in the school for a certain number of hours per week. Our nurse is in school on X dates so to arrange to see them, please do Y CEOP - is here to keep children safe from sexual abuse and grooming online. They are here to help and give you advice, and you can make a report directly to them if something has happened online which has made you feel unsafe, scared or worried. This might be from someone you know in real life, or someone you have only ever met online. They take all reports seriously and will do everything they can to keep you safe. As well as providing a facility to enable you to make a report to CEOP, the CEOP Thinkuknow website has information and advice to help you if something has happened to you online. Confidentiality - teachers and other adults in school are not able to keep things you tell them secret, if it in any way means that you are at risk of any kind of harm. All school staff has to report any disclosures you may make which indicate there may be a danger to your safety. This is called a ‘duty of care’ and all adults in schools have a duty of care over all the pupils in the school
