At Stoke Prior First School we recognise the challenges that families face in bringing up children. There may be times when you need extra help and support. If this is the case, please come and talk to us. There are many ways our school can help and support you and your family.

We can help to plan specific support for families by following the Early Help Pathway, meaning we can carry out a whole family early help assessment where extra support is identified. We will work with you as a family to work together to set and achieve positive outcomes in a family plan.

Providing early help to our pupils and families at Stoke Prior First School means we are more effective in promoting support as soon as we can. Early help in schools means providing support as soon as a problem emerges, at any point in a child’s life, from the foundation years through to teenage years and beyond.

The coordinated Stoke Prior offer of Early Help is outlined in our Early Help Offer (see below for a link).
