This group is aimed primarily at North Herts parents and carers and offers the opportunity for them to gain a new perspective on parenting by :

Ø  Understanding children's behaviour

Ø  Helping children manage their feelings

Ø  Learning new strategies to address challenging behaviour

Ø  Exploring helpful and unhelpful discipline strategies & how these can help make a difference in family life

Parents can also call us on 01163 666087 to complete a referral over the phone and ensure a place.

We are still waiting for a number of Personal Support Plans to be returned.  These are for some children who have additional support to help them meet their educational and personal objectives.  If relevant, please can you double check that you have signed a copy and returned it to us. 

We really value your comments  and feedback to check that we are aligned about the priorities for your child.  Having up to date PSPs in school informs our intervention planning, and is an important part of our provision under the SEN Code of Practice.  

If you would like to discuss the objectives written on the Personal Support Plan, please feel free to speak to your child's Class Teacher, or to get in touch with me directly.  Many thanks,  Mrs Nichols
