Lockdown can be tough, particularly during the winter months when the weather is cold, the days are short and the opportunity to get outside and let off steam is limited. On this page you will find information about services and strategies available to support you and your family at this challenging time.
As always, school are here to help. Your family will be receiving weekly welfare calls from your child's class teacher. If there is anything that you are unsure of, anything your child is struggling with, or anything we can help with, please do ask your child's class teacher for support. They may not be able to fix your problem for you, but they may be able to signpost you to someone who can.
