Help and Support | stwinefrides

At St. Winefride’s Catholic Primary School, we aim to work closely with our parents and carers in order to provide the best outcomes for our children. Working closely with a number of agencies, we aim to support families, in a variety of ways. This may include signposting to external agencies or offering support within school.

Families seek support and advice for a number of issues including: domestic abuse, mental health issues, housing concerns, financial worries and debts, morning routines, toilet training, managing screen time, bereavement and loss, cyber bullying and a wide range of other things.
