FAMILY SUPPORT AND INFORMATION

Please see below a range of health, wellbeing, financial and family support links:

Warwickshire School Health & Wellbeing Service
In a year of uncertainty and upheaval, it’s no surprise that many families are facing difficulties in their daily lives. Children and young people may be feeling anxious, frustrated, sad, stressed and many other difficult emotions, which may contribute to wider issues such as sleep disorders, substance misuse and challenging behaviour. 

While it’s not unusual to be dealing with these problems, that doesn’t mean they can be ignored if they are impacting on your or your child’s wellbeing, or that families have to go through this alone; help is here when you need it. https://www.compass-uk.org/news/parents/help-at-christmas/

Virtual Open Morning & School Video


Ordinarily, around this time of year, we’d be opening our doors and I’d be welcoming you and your children into St Mary’s to tour our fabulous facilities and see our thriving school and dedicated, friendly staff in action – but this year is anything but ordinary.

Although we’re not having a physical open day this year, my staff and I are very keen to get to know prospective parents and will gladly arrange phone or video calls and visits in person, albeit to protect our class bubbles these will need to happen outside of school hours. Please watch our virtual open day video, and contact the office to make an appointment if you’d like to find out more
