Parenting a teenager isn't always easy....

Bacon's Parent Champions are fellow parents and carers of students at Bacon’s College who volunteer their time to support other parents, either through the College or through local services and Southwark Council. We host regular events throughout the academic year to enable fellow parents and carers to meet one another.

Sleep Hygiene Workshop for Parents - KS3/4

Wednesday 18th November 2026 at 9am

Sleep Well, Learn Well, Feel Well! Is your teenager getting enough sleep? You’re not alone—and there are practical ways you can help.

Sleep hygiene support helps students develop healthy sleep routines, improving their wellbeing, concentration, emotional regulation and readiness to learn.
 
It can also support better attendance, independence and engagement with education, particularly for students experiencing anxiety, emotional difficulties or barriers to attending school.
