Digby the Tedder Primary School
Support
At our school we aim to support pupils and their families throughout the school to enable children to achieve their best, academically, socially and emotionally. We want children to stay safe and healthy, build and maintain successful relationships and become active and responsible citizens, both on and offline.
Occasionally children and their families may need additional support. In school we work with a range of stakeholders; parents, support staff and outreach agencies to meet the needs of individual pupils. We are lucky to have trained ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistants) in school who deliver individualised support programmes to meet the emotional needs of the children they work with.
If you have a concern regarding your child please do not hesitate to contact the school. You can phone the school, email or speak to your child’s class teacher or make an appointment via the school office.
