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


Juliet is our Family Support Worker and works in school to support families. Contact her on Weduc or at jbellagambi.306@lgflmail.org


Gaynor is the Assistant Head in charge of Safeguarding and all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. She can help with referrals for Early Help or Children with Disabilities Team, safeguarding concerns or parent queries to do with KS1 children.
She is also a qualified Makaton Tutor.


Vanessa is our Assistant Head in charge of the curriculum and all the children in Key Stage 2. She is also one of our Literacy leads and can help with questions about reading and writing. She is also a Safeguarding Officer and can help with safeguarding concerns.


Beth Gentry-Hobson is our in-house Speech and Language Therapist. She can help with SALT questions and queries, and can help signpost you to support from your child's NHS therapist if they have one.
Parent Coffee Mornings
Our Parent Coffee Mornings are a great opportunity to seek support, meet staff and other parents and to chat in a friendly and informal atmosphere. We run Coffee Mornings regularly on a range of topics.
