In January 2023, we employed Mrs Begum as our new Family Support Worker to work closely with Mrs Lewis as part of our Inclusion Team.

Parental surveys indicated that they would like more opportunities to come into school and to meet other parents, so Mrs Lewis and Mrs Begum organised for weekly Coffee Mornings to take place every Tuesday, from 9-10:30 at our school.  These began on Tuesday, 17th January, and since then, we have welcomed parents into Maple Room each week for a coffee, information sharing and a chat!
