How can I contact the pastoral support team?
Pupils
Any child in the school can ask to speak to our Pastoral Team if they have a problem or a worry about school or at home. They can do this by approaching the team or by asking a member of staff. A suitable time will then be arranged to meet.
Parents and Carers
If you have a pastoral concern regarding your child, you can phone the school, speak to your child’s class teacher or make an appointment via the school office to see Mrs Wintle . Please call the school office on 01634 234699 or email: office@parkwoodprimary.org.uk.
School Staff
A pastoral referral form can be completed and then a meeting with the pupil will be arranged depending on particular needs.
What support do we offer at Parkwood Primary School?
At Parkwood Primary, we are able to offer a tiered approach to our pastoral support ensuring our pupils receive the appropriate level of support to match their needs.
Time to Talk
Our pupils at Parkwood Primary are able to request time to talk with a member of the pastoral team. These children will then spend around 10 minutes with a member of the pastoral team where they will talk about their concerns and look at strategies they can use to help them in the future.
Group Pastoral Workshops
We offer a range of group pastoral workshops to support our pupils with the following challenges they may be facing:
- Raising Self-Esteem
- Friendship
- Emotional Regulation
- Managing my Worries
Mid-level Therapeutic Interventions
For children who require a higher level of support to enable them to take a more in depth look at the issues that are concerning them, they will have regular mid-level therapeutic interventions. These sessions are run by our play therapist. The sessions are around 40 minutes long and can be run in a variety of ways (play therapy/sand therapy/art therapy) tailored to the child’s interests.
