Parent Support Advisor

Our Parent Support Advisor (Ms Cochrane) works closely with children, families and school staff to help overcome barriers that may affect a child’s wellbeing, attendance, behaviour or learning.

Support may include:

  • Attendance and punctuality support
  • Emotional wellbeing support
  • Parenting advice and guidance
  • Signposting to local services
  • Early Help support
  • Support during significant family changes
  • Assistance with housing, finance or benefit signposting
  • Support with school transitions
  • Liaison between home and school

Our aim is to work in partnership with families to ensure every child is happy, safe and able to achieve their full potential.

How to Access Support

Parents and carers can speak to the school office or contact the Parent Support Advisor directly to discuss any concerns in confidence.

No issue is too small, and we encourage families to seek support as early as possible.
