Family Support

Hello Parents and Carers

I am Mrs Mew and I am the Home School Link Worker (HSLW)

Mrs Mew

Our school is committed to  supporting you and your children. If you would like any guidance, support or would just like to talk something through, please contact me on 02392 581208 or email [email protected]

I would love to hear about what your family is doing, any ideas or activities that have gone well or not so well, any amusing moments or triumphs.

Please take a look at the areas I am responsible for:

Tea and Talk:  I also run regular Tea & Talk sessions. Please do come along to meet with us to discuss any concerns you might have (or just to have a chat and a cup of tea!) We have the School Nursing Team and/or the Mental Health support team in attendance at each session and they can help with a range of concerns such as sleep, diet, toileting, behaviour. We can help to direct you to appropriate support and offer advice, strategies and support. Toddlers are welcome to the session and toys, refreshments are provided.

Please come along and join us, each month, all are welcome.  The dates are on the website calendar and also put in the weekly newsletter.

      Service Club:   I also run the Service Club along with Mrs Dade, and we meet every Tuesday at lunchtime.  The children from Service families get together for fun activities and have the chance to share their experiences and feelings of having a parent in the military.

       Pets As Therapy:  One of my other support roles is to lead the Pets As Therapy sessions.  This is a scheme where dogs are used to help children with their feelings and show them how to manage their anxieties.  We currently have 3 Poodles of various sizes that join us every week with their amazing owner.  Children are nominated to meet the dogs by either the teacher and/or parent.  If you feel your child would benefit on a weekly meeting then please contact us.  More information about Pets As Therapy

      Supporting Children with Parents that have offended:   I am also responsible for making a difference to children and their families where a key attachment figure has offended.  I have undertaken the Hidden Sentences training with Barnado’s.   Part of my role is to help understand the impact of imprisonment on the families of prisoners, provide support, signpost to relevant services and provide information.
