We would like to let you know that we have a Family Support Worker in school, Miss Yates.  She is here to support you with any issues, worries or concerns that you may have.  She is available to support at a time that is convenient for you and can cover a wide range of areas, such as housing, debt advice, parenting and your child's education.

Miss Yates is based at the front of school near to the main reception.

If you would like to speak to us please come and ask for her at the school reception.  Alternatively you can call her on 01772 796037 or 07887831082.  

We know it can be daunting asking for help.  Below we have an Help Page.  In here you can find a range of numbers for local services that can help you.
