Support for Parents
We know that when your child is experiencing challenges with their mental health and wellbeing, it can be a stressful time for all of the family. Please do not hesitate to contact us and ask for support should you require it.
In school:
- Speak to your child’s teacher
- Speak to our Emotionally Health School Lead. Mrs Natalie Zatrakova is our Emotionally Healthy Schools Lead and SENCo. You can either email senco@peartreeprimary.co.uk or ring school on 01270 906120 and ask to speak to her or Mrs Casey (Senior Mental Health Lead) regarding your concerns.
