Family Wellbeing
RETURNING TO SCHOOL MONDAY 8TH MARCH 2021
During this time we will continue to update resources and support that is available to support family wellbeing. This page will have resources/support/strategies available to parents and children. Do not suffer in silence during this time as there is plenty of support still available if you are struggling with your own or your child’s wellbeing.
Contact the school office and leave a message for Mrs. Fogden to call you back if you have any concerns at any point.
- Families First staff are contactable via their telephones or email so if you have a link worker please ensure that you are making regular contact. They will be in direct contact with school too.
