-  supporting families, pupils, our school and staff

A key part of the role of Family Support Advisor within the First Federation is to work together to provide the best possible education for all, removing barriers to learning through supporting children throughout the school so that they can flourish. As our Family Support Advisor, Mrs Cook is key to empowering parents to help raise their child's levels of attainment and achievement. Together, we ensure that parent-school relationships are as strong as possible, so children come to school 'ready to learn'. Another key part of Mrs Cook's role is working with families and the school team to improve attendance, whilst contributing positively to the local communities we are part of.

Mrs Cook can signpost and help coordinate the necessary multi agency approach to support and protect children and their families throughout the appropriate safeguarding responses, working together with our leadership team.

Children are at the centre of everything we do.

Please contact the school office to make an appointment with Mrs Cook.
