We know that sometimes people find themselves having a difficult time.  Should you feel that you need some additional support on a specific issue or for a short period of time we can help you with that.  We can do this on a 1:1 basis or by meeting with other people and agencies who may be able to give you the help that you need.  School support is about supporting you to have the help you need at the earliest possible stage.

Some of the things that we have supported families with are:

Foodbank                                                                   Domestic Abuse  

Housing                                                                      Young carers

Children's behaviour as a communication           Bereavements                         

Emotional Wellbeing and mental Health
