Some examples of areas in which I can support parents are:

Attendance Issues
Behaviour Support
Emotional Wellbeing
Classroom Issues e.g. behaviour/friendships etc.
Family Learning
Family Circumstances affecting your child e.g. parental separation, bereavement etc.
Free School Meals
Friendship Issues
Homework Concerns

Offer signposting information to other agencies, e.g. School Nurse, CAMHS, Home Start Transition Information
SATs concerns
Transition to Secondary School

Draw and Talk

Draw & Talk is a well-being intervention at DBCPS. This is a gentle and non-intrusive method of working with the children who need a little help to support their emotional and learning needs. A trained practitioner/staff member from the school staff will work with the child, for one 20-minute session, every week, for one term. If you wish to discuss the support your child will receive, please call the school office to make an appointment/speak to Ms Fields.
