ELSA Support

During Covid-19 lockdown, we all had to cope with challenges and it has been particularly hard for some of our children. Together, we want to work with parents to help support their child's emotional wellbeing at home and in school. Below are some useful links for parents. 
At the bottom of the page you can find details of how to contact us in school about your child's emotional well-being  

We have put together some information that you may find useful and supportive.  There are activities from ELSA support which you can also access from their website www.elsa support.co.uk.

You may find the social stories useful.
