Working with families

We believe that educating and caring for a child should be a partnership between home and school and we want our parents and carers to be as involved with their children's learning as possible.

We provide a number of services for our children and families:

Family support workers

Our Family Support Team work individually with children and families on a range of issues. They can provide support with parenting, routines, behaviour and learning and can arrange contact with outside agencies for further help and support if required.

The team manage our caseload of vulnerable pupils and work with agencies to provide and triage support.
