Family Support
Lisa Sinclair is a Family Support Worker employed by school to support children and their families. This can be in school (subject to Covid-19 restrictions) or over the phone. Lisa is in school once a fortnight on a Tuesday morning. If you would like support from Lisa, please let school know and we will pass on your contact details. This could be support with bedtime routines, managing feelings or behaviour at home.
We can also make a referral for Early Intervention Family Support. This is usually for a set time e.g. 6 weeks in order to offer a package of support based on your needs. School can make a referral with parental consent, or parents can request support themselves by completing the form here:
