Family Wellbeing
In School
At St Paul's we have our Home School Link worker who works with many children and families across the school and Mrs Bryan is also our lead teacher for Mental Health and Wellbeing for children, staff and parents. If you would like to speak to anyone from school, please contact them via the school office.
Each week new fact sheets will be added that give help and advice for supporting children and yourselves.
