Parent Wellbeing/PFSA Support
We try to encourage good communication between the school and parents.
You can make an appointment to see your child's class teacher.
Class Dojo is a way of communicating anything too and this is helpful because it is online and can be translated.
Sometimes parents need that little bit of extra support:

As the school PFSA my aim is to work alongside families to help your children thrive both in school and at home.
Here are some of the ways I can support:
- Listening and Guidance: A safe, confidential space to talk about any concerns you may have regarding your child's wellbeing, behaviour, or school experience.
- Practical Support: Help with routines, attendance, and strategies to manage challenges at home or school.
- Signposting: Connecting you with local services and resources for additional support, such as mental health services, or financial advice.
- Working Together: Collaborating with you and school staff to ensure your child feels supported and understood.
If you would like to arrange a time to talk or find out more, please feel free to contact me on the number above or via Dojo or Famly.
