Bereavement Information

Death can be difficult for young people to understand, especially when it is sudden. Many people may be confronted with a variety of emotions which might include shock, sadness and confusion. At Hornsey School for Girls we care about all our students and the feelings they may be experiencing. 

Below are links to websites we have found that contain helpful information for students, parents and staff to deal with bereavement. 

Please note the information below has been updated as a response to the COVID-19 global pandemic.
