Home School Link Worker (HSLW)

Our HSLW is Mrs Collins. Her aim is to work in partnership with parents/carers, staff and other agencies to support families to ensure that all children enjoy school and feel happy and secure. We know children thrive and reach their full potential when home and school are working in partnership to support their development. Our HSLW can help parents/carers and children who may need support on a range of issues, for example, anxiety about coming into school, medical problems, parental separation, bereavement, attendance and punctuality. The HSLW is available on the school gate morning apart from Wednesday from 8.45 – 9am and can also offer set appointments.

Supply Teachers and Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs)

Teachers have to be released from the classroom for training, meetings, monitoring, preparation, planning, assessment etc. We have a team of supply teachers who regularly work in the school and get to know our children very well. We also have a number of qualified HLTAs working under the direction of class teachers who can take the class for some lessons.

Students

The school welcomes many students from local secondary schools, colleges and universities. They make a valuable contribution to children’s learning as well as gaining work experience or professional qualifications. All students undergo checks and an induction process.

Peripatetic Music Teachers

We currently have music teachers for guitar, drums, piano, woodwind and harmonica.
