Hello, we are your Family Liaison Officers (FLO’s).
We are here to support all families starting from the very first day until they move on to pastures new. At some point, we all need a bit of support. This can take many forms from the need for a friendly chat, the chance to offload the stresses of the day to advice on finance, behaviour and other sensitive matters. So please come and find one of us. One of us is always on a gate in the morning and we can pass messages on for you or feel free to email us using the contact details above. We are always happy for you to come along for a chat in the beehive. This can be found on the playground at the top of the field.
Please look out for our termly newsletter which has lots of hints and tips and useful contact information, along with information on parent courses and coffee mornings.
Additionally we offer our Little Notes toddler group. This is run in the community room at the front of the school office. Look out for our flyers for dates and times.
