PARENT CHAMPION FOR SEND
Confidential support and advice for families
As a school, we want to play a role in improving SEND services for our children. We have an opportunity to provide a confidential space here in school, for families of children with SEND, through a Parent Champion project delivered and funded by SENDiass4BCP and Parent Carers Together.
Each half term, our dedicated Parent Champion, Emma, will hold a session to support families in navigating appropriate local and national services and networks to meet the needs of their children. Time slots will be allocated to individual families on a first come first served basis and are held, in confidence, during the school day.
The next session will be running on:
Monday 20th October, 9.15-11.15am
Please send an email to: parent.champion@twynhamprimary.com should you wish to book a slot and a time will be allocated to you. Each slot is 30 minutes.
The role of the Parent Champion is to listen and to share knowledge of the services and the networks in your local community that may be of help to you. This is a valuable resource we are so pleased to be part of. Together we can improve services and support for families across our school community.
If you are experiencing difficulties and are unsure where to access the support and resources you need, please do get in touch.
STORMBREAK AT TPS
We have recently launched Stormbreak at Twynham Primary School.
Stormbreak is a charity (registered in England and Wales) that supports young children’s mental health through movement, equipping them with sustainable skills and coping strategies to thrive during the complex demands of growth into adult life.
Each Stormbreak lasts between 5 to 15 minutes and involves movement and associated conversation and discussion around mental health. At school, we use a mixture of pre-recorded videos and stormbreaks which are delivered by our school staff.
Stormbreak is something that can also be completed at home, as a family, and this PDF contains all the information you should need. It is easy to set up your own parent account, and this video explains how to do it.
