Support is available during these difficult times
We have our own family room in school where you can go for a chat with Lynne (family support)
We are running coffee mornings, drop in sessions, support for reading with your child at home, help with bedtime routines and an outdoor play area.
The school has used pupil premium to employ a family support since the start of the academic year worker to work with the school. This is a bespoke service run in conjunction with the neighbouring sure start. The school still gets its allocated link worker and support from the Sure start but has its own family support worker in addition.
