Behaviour Support

Additional Support Needs Base

As with the previous Guidance system, these members of staff are the first point of contact for parents or carers should you wish to discuss any aspect of your child’s school experience, if there is an issue about your child you would like to discuss further through a meeting at school, or if you have information relating to your child’s learning or well being that you wish to pass on. They will normally be the member of staff who will contact you should there be a need to discuss aspects of your child’s progress at school.
