I am concerned about my child, who should I talk to?

If you have concerns about your child, then we always ask that your first point of contact is your child’s class teacher. They will be able to help with friendship issues & everyday behaviours including struggling to get your child into school and any anxiety they may feel about the school day. Teachers know your children well and have a wealth of knowledge and can suggest many strategies to support with anxiety, learning difficulties and behaviour. You can speak to them at the door or you can email them to request a phone call or a meeting. They are always happy to listen and offer support. If things don’t improve or further advice is needed, then the SEND and Nurture team will be informed and extra advice and support will be given.

Where else can families look for advice and support?

As educational professionals we are not always best placed to offer advice or solutions for difficulties that families experience at home. This can include issues such as toileting, eating, sleeping, parenting, self-help skills, challenging behaviours etc.
