Family and Extended School Services

We have developed an extensive support network to provide our families with understanding, guidance and strategies to improve the quality of life for their children and for the family as a whole. Our Family Support Team have a wealth of information to guide parents to available support networks within the community.

The purpose of our Family Service is to support families and promote the well-being of our pupils by encouraging social activities. It also provides a network of assistance and advice for parents and carers. We provide a varied programme of activities from coffee mornings, trips out, swimming sessions to holiday and after-school clubs.

Hedgewood School is part of our local community and we recognise our duty to promote community cohesion. To further this, we make our school facilities available, whenever possible, to our community.

Our aim:

To support families and promote the well-being of our pupils by extending their experiences outside of the classroom.
Effective networking for families to share experiences and provide mutual support.
Provision of a range of parent training courses.
Promote well-being and resilience through individualised support and guidance for parents/carers.
Facilitate community cohesion.
