SEND Information for Parents

Being a parent is hard work and sometimes parents can feel very alone. Every child is different and has different needs and sometimes it is hard to know what to do when faced with challenging behaviours. When you succeed though, there is no better feeling. Helping your child through difficult times, or just every day anxieties and events, can be what makes parenting so magical. This page hopes to help you – giving you articles, documents and website links that can give you tips and advice on various different childhood behaviours.

Please do regularly check in to this page as it is regularly updated and more content is added as often as possible. Our Pastoral Team is always here to support you – please make an appointment to speak to us. We may not be able to answer your queries but together, we can signpost you to services and offer support for you and your family.
