Family Support, Pastoral Care and Well-being & Mental Health
My name is Nina Fowle and I am your Family Support Worker. You may have seen me around the school, as I have been a Teaching Assistant in each year group and continue to support the teachers in class across the school.
I have 3 children of my own who have all been through The Avenue.
From a personal and professional perspective I can appreciate the joys and challenges that our children present for us to enjoy or to manage! I am sure that this insight will help me to help you in my role as FSW.
What is a Family Support Worker?
A Family Support Worker is here for you, the parents and carers. It may be that you need help finding childcare in your local area, are looking for out-of-school clubs, need help sorting out forms or knowing what you are entitled to, perhaps you would like some support with your child’s behaviour/routine/eating habits/sleep issues etc – or, maybe like me, you would like to chat over a cuppa!
Where can you find me?
I will be available to speak to from 8.50am – 9.20am every morning in the front playground and again each afternoon from 2.50pm – 3.30pm.
Each day I will be available in my office for longer consultations for most of the day.
Please do feel that you can contact me about any issue, big or small that you may like my help and support with.
Alternatively, you can get hold of me via the school office on 01933 276366 or my e-mail address nfowle@theavenue-inf.northants.sch.uk
Coffee and Chat Sessions
We hold regular Coffee and Chat sessions where all parents /carers are invited to come along and join us for a relaxed opportunity for parents/carers to get to know one another, chat to myself or other members of staff about your child, ask any questions you may have, or just to stop for a moment to have a drink and a biscuit before you continue with your day. We would love to use this opportunity to welcome and meet all of you.
