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
