The school has invited the Charlie Waller Memorial Trust to work with their year 12 pupils. 

Charlie Waller committed suicide in 1997 at the age of 28 after battling with depression.

His family set up the trust to work with schools, colleges and universities helping young people to recognise the signs of mental illness and ensuring they know how to access help and support.

Trainer Zoe Woodworth says it's important for everyone to realise that life will have its ups and downs.
