Supporting You and Your Family
At our school, we know that children achieve their best when they feel happy, safe and supported. We are proud to be at the heart of our community, and we are here to support not only your child, but you and your family too.
We understand that families can sometimes face challenges, and you do not have to manage these alone. Our dedicated pastoral team is available to offer a listening ear, practical advice and support tailored to your family’s needs. Whether you are worried about your child’s wellbeing, your family’s circumstances, or simply need some guidance, we are here to help.
You do not need to wait until a situation becomes overwhelming before seeking support. We encourage families to speak to us as early as possible so that we can work together to find the right help and prevent small concerns from becoming bigger challenges. No concern is too small, and we welcome conversations about anything that may be affecting your child or family.
We can support families with access to food supplies, clothing and school uniform, as well as vouchers for fuel, gas, electricity and other essential household items. We also work closely with local charities and community organisations to help families experiencing financial difficulties, food insecurity, housing concerns or other challenges. Where needed, we can help families access additional support to ensure children have suitable beds and sleeping arrangements, enabling them to get a good night’s sleep and be ready to learn each day.
We believe that every family deserves support without judgement, and we are committed to working alongside you to find the right help at the right time. By working together to support wellbeing, attendance and family circumstances, we can help children feel settled, confident and ready to learn. Any concerns shared with our pastoral team will be treated with sensitivity, respect and confidentiality, ensuring that families feel safe and supported when seeking help.
As a school, we are committed to building strong relationships with our families and providing support that makes a real difference. We see ourselves as more than just a place of learning; we are a central part of our community and are here to support our families through both the good times and the more difficult ones.
Mrs Ackerley, our Pastoral Manager, is your first point of contact for pastoral support. She will work with you to understand your circumstances, provide advice and guidance, and help you access the support available both within school and through our wider community partnerships.
If there is anything worrying you, no matter how big or small, please get in touch. Together, we can ensure that every child and family feels valued, supported and able to thrive.
