TwitterPastoral Support at Norton Road Primary School
At Norton Road, we believe that children thrive when families feel supported, valued and included. We are committed to working alongside our families to help overcome any challenges that may arise and to ensure that every child has the opportunity to be happy, confident and successful.
Life can sometimes bring unexpected challenges, and we understand that these can have an impact on family life and on children’s learning and wellbeing. Our school is here to offer practical support, guidance and a listening ear whenever you may need it.
Our family support service can help with a wide range of concerns, including completing forms and applications, managing behaviour at home, family relationships and accessing other services and support. If you are unsure where to turn, please come and talk to us — we will always do our best to help or connect you with someone who can.
Our Family Room
We are proud to have a dedicated Family Room, providing a welcoming, comfortable and confidential space for parents and carers to come and talk to us.
You are always welcome to drop in — there is no need to make an appointment. Whether you have a particular concern you would like to discuss, need help finding the right support, or simply want someone to listen, our door is open.
We believe that by supporting our families, we strengthen our whole school community and help our children to flourish. Together, we can ensure that every child is given the care, encouragement and opportunities they need to achieve their full potential and live out our school vision.
