Family Support, Pastoral Care and Well-being & Mental Health
Our Family Support Worker is Miss Jodie Halford. She is usually available to speak to every morning from 8.50am at the school gate and again each afternoon from 3.10pm. Jodie is also available during the school day if this more convenient for you or you require a longer appointment.
Please do feel that you can contact her about any issue, big or small, that you would like help and support with.
If you would like to speak with Jodie please contact the school office on 01933 276366 or my e-mail address is fsw@theavenue-inf.northants.sch.uk
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!
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.
