Dear Parents/ Carers and families
As your school Parent Support Advisor my role is to support our families, find information for you and generally be a listening ear. Due to our difficult situation, isolation and home schooling etc at the moment I will be regularly adding links onto this page. These will be for guidance and support and also some fun pages for the children to keep you all sane! Please see below this week's list so far.
