St. Vincent’s Catholic Primary School
Family Worker
My role in school is to provide support, advice and information to the families within our school community. I can help you with any worries that you may have in relation to your child's education, behaviour and wellbeing. I am also here as someone to talk to if you need it!
I can meet you in school at a time to suit yourself. Advice and support is confidential although concerns relating to the safeguarding of children will always be dealt with in accordance with the school's Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy. I may not have all the answers, but hopefully I can help you to work out how to find them!
Support for pupils includes:
-
Promoting good attendance and puntuality
-
Promoting self-esteem and confidence
-
Pormoting positive behaviour and positive attitudes to learning
-
Promoting one to one support
Support for families includes:
-
Providing information and signposting to other services in the local area
-
Liasing with a range of external services such as housing and Social Care
-
Assistance in completing paperwork and forms e.g. housing, special educational needs, school places and benefits
-
Attendance and support at school and other agency meetings
-
Advice and support in promoting positive behaviour at home
I hold parent meetings each term; all parents and carers are welcome to come along (toddlers are welcome too). It is a good opportunity for families new to the school to get to know others so please join me. Dates of parent meetings are given in the information sheets.
How to get in touch:
I am normally based in the school office every morning from 8.30am and can be available in the afternoons by arragement. Please call the school office on 020 8857 5134 to make an appointment or pop in and I will be happy to see you as soon as I can.
