Early Help

Early Help refers to the offer of any information, advice or support to children, young people and their families as soon as possible in their lives, or when issues emerge, to help prevent problems from escalating.

Listed below are some of the services the school can offer you:-

• Staff are available to talk to parents/carers each morning on the playground when you drop your children at school to discuss any concerns you may have regarding behaviour, learning or any other support you require

• Support to complete forms and other paperwork such as high school admissions can be provided by the school office.

• Meetings with class teachers or Mrs Watson, our SEND coordinator, are available to meet with parents/carers to discuss any concerns you may have regarding your child’s behaviour or learning.

• Referrals to outside agencies such as: The Well Being Hub, parenting courses or the  School Nursing Team can be made, 

• Common Assessment Framework (CAF) which involves listening to you to find out what help you need and talking about what is working well in your life.  Based on what you say and what help you would like, a plan is put together so that professionals can work together to make sure you get the right sort of help.

• Our Safeguarding Team meet regularly to identify any children and families who would benefit from early help.  

• Breakfast Club can be provided to support families in certain situations.
