Parenting support

Parenting is one of the most challenging jobs in the world. We all need help from time to time (I speak as a dad of 4 children). Please click onto any of the websites below for help and support in your more challenging moments with your children! Of course, if you think we can help, please do ask.

Mental Health Support Team

The Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) is an early intervention service within the NHS that works in partnership with local schools to offer a whole school approach to mental health and wellbeing. Our school is in the latest cohort of schools eligible for support from this team.

The team can support children and young people, aged 5 to 18, and their families, with mild to moderate mental health difficulties including anxiety and/or depression, low mood and behavioural difficulties. They will work with children and young people, parents/carers, school staff, and external specialist services providing support through training and workshops for both schools and parents, group programmes & 1:1 interventions.

We have just started working with the MHST and we believe it will bring some valuable additional support to some of our pupils and families. We are currently considering children we think may benefit from support. You can find out more about what MHSTs can offer here.
