At Old Moat, we pride ourselves on our supportive community. You can ask any member of staff for help but we also have a dedicated Family Support Worker, Julie Walsh. Mrs Walsh is available for all kinds of support - please see her letter below - and to support parents who may need support for the whole family: she is available to offer an Early Help Agreement if required; this a voluntary service where parents take the lead in what support services are required. She will link up with other professionals to get you the support needed at that time e.g.: housing connect, Sure Start, health services. Please take a look at the Early Help Brochure.
Do take take a look at all the downloads that may be of interest to you. If you have any other suggestions or useful information you would like to share please let us know.
We also have a number of parent volunteers in school who help out with reading, trips etc. If you are interested, please let us know.
Please see Mrs Walsh's letter to parents below:
