A warm welcome to our new Home School Link Worker, Mrs Heard. Mrs Heard is at school every day, and she is always around at the gate. You can make contact with her via the office. 

Home School Link Workers work with children and families to help them in different ways and some examples include:

• Children who are anxious or withdrawn

• Parents and carers experiencing difficulties managing their child’s behaviour

• Parents, carers and children who are experiencing change, such as parental separation or bereavement

• Parents and carers whose children are often absent from school or where getting to school on time is a problem

• Parents and carers who may need support on a wide range of issues impacting on their family life, such as illness, separation, domestic violence, bereavement

Mrs Heard can provide:

• A chance to talk in a confidential and non-judgemental environment

• One to one support and advice

• Parenting guidance on developing and maintaining positive discipline

• Home visits to support families and children
