Family and Pastoral Support
Here at Compass we have a school Wellbeing Team who work with children and families to provide support when required. The team operates an open-door policy to children and families and are based within the Wellbeing Hub in the centre of our school. The team consists of Callum Reilly (Safeguarding Senior Lead); Kate Strudwick (Safeguarding Officer); Dawn Gillett (Senior Student Support Office); Alison Jones (Pupil Champion); and Stacey Watson (Pastoral Teaching Assistant).
The work provided by the team is focused on wellbeing, attendance, welfare and child protection. The team provide a range of bespoke interventions and support programmes for children, along with coordinating Early Help Assessments for families and leading our Family Hub which is open to parents, carers and pre-school aged children. The Family Hub operate regular Coffee and Craft Mornings and parenting support programmes/family events in partnership with Northants Children's Trust.
The Wellbeing Team are available to provide support and advice to parents and carers with any aspect of parenting whilst also working to support children in removing barriers to learning. The team work closely with partner agencies within the community and are also able to signpost parents and carers to other appropriate channels of support. These may include Home Start; local Children's Centres; School Nursing Team; Citizens Advice; and our local Community Policing Teams.
We also have an on-site foodbank for our families, should they find themselves in need. This can be accessed at any time by contacting the team either via email: wellbeing@compassprimary.org or via telephone: 01536 532707.
