The Croft Primary For Parents

Family Support Worker

At The Croft, we are very lucky to have a family support worker dedicated to the families of our pupils — Kate Rowland. As we know, children don’t come with a handbook, and each child can present a range of challenges that can subsequently affect their ability to learn. Family support workers offer practical advice and guidance on the variety of challenges parents face. These often include issues such as:

  • Challenging behaviour.
  • Picky eaters.
  • Poor sleepers.
  • Concerns about your child’s emotional wellbeing.
  • Money worries.
  • Housing difficulties.

Our Family Support Worker is Kate Rowland.

"I am here to help with any concerns or questions you may have about your child or family life in general, or if you just need a cuppa and to unload about the challenges of being a parent — it is hard.”

Kate Rowland

Dear parents and carers,

With current news and media full of speculation and conjecture about local lockdowns and the reopening of schools in September, I want to assure you that we're poised to take any required action.

To ensure we both make better decisions, we’ll communicate any plans when it’s closer to September. This will give us time to receive guidance from the Regional Schools Commissioner, the Department for Education, and we'll have a clearer understanding of the ever-evolving local situation. Experience has taught me that making plans on uncertainty and speculation can be costly and confusing, so we won’t do this.

I’m writing this message to let you know we have matters in hand, and you are at the forefront of our thinking. We expect to know more later this month and I will update you with further information on the 21st August.

Until then, please continue to look after yourselves and your loved ones. Health, well-being, and welfare should be at the front of all that we do.

Take care,

Dr Nicholas Capstick O.B.E

CEO, The White Horse Federation
