What Parents Have Said

"Thank you so much to Mrs Jefford for the workshop. I was blown away by the presentation, which demonstrated just how much the school is doing to implement strategies for mental health. I feel very confident that my kids are in safe hands - and that there is a real passion and knowledge within the school to support and guide parents."

 "It was absolutely brilliant, so insightful, very engaging and lots of helpful resources that I can look at and use at home, thank you!"

"Really great session - learnt a lot and other things to read and think about."
