Family Workers

Our Family workers are Mrs Katie Richards (Mon-Weds) and Miss Corina Cullen (Thurs-Fri). We work hard to support our children and families, providing a range of support and interventions. 

ELSA is a six-week emotional literacy intervention that can be offered to our children. Sessions will be focused on emotional issues/self-esteem/managing feelings/friendship issue. These sessions are confidential in an allocated ELSA space and are led by the child.

Draw and Talk is a 12-week intervention.

Nurture groups also take place for those that may require support with friendships and emotions.  These take place in groups or on a 1:1 basis.
