Barnardos Back to School Support
It is so lovely to be able to welcome our younger children back to their classrooms this week. Many of them may be feeling excited and happy, others may be feeling anxious or worried. I think it is fair to say that all of us, parents, pupils and teachers will be feeling a range of emotions over the next few weeks. Barnardos have created a back to school sub-hub with a range of resources, tools, videos and more to help you support your child’s journey going back to school.

Some of the topics include:
- Supporting your child through change
- Supporting your child with additional needs settle into school
- Transitioning back to school and establishing routines
- The journey back to school
- Making preparations: emotional well being
Please do not hesitate to speak to your child's teacher or a member of the pastoral care team if you have concerns or need support.
