How can we help?

At St Nicholas, we work hard to support not only the children in school, but their families too. On this page there is information about who in school can help you, or links to other organisations or websites who can.

Who can help?

Your child's class teacher should usually be your first contact - they know your child best and can offer help with what to do at home to support learning, offer behaviour advice or information about school, or signpost you to someone who can offer more support
