Hello, I'm your Parent Support Advisor, Sarah Thompson-Fitch and can provide support on all parenting and school issues. I'm able to give advice on many issues and I also have a role in pupil attendance.  Below is a list of things I can help you with but this list is not exhaustive.  If you require advice on any issue related to school and/or your family please don’t hesitate to arrange an appointment.
