Family Support

At St. Julian’s Primary, we care enormously about our families and our community. That is why we do so much more than just educate children at our school. We understand that life brings all kinds of ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ and that people find themselves in all sorts of situations. One of the best things about our school is that we want to be there for our families to celebrate in life’s ‘ups’, but also to be there to support them in any way we can in the ‘downs’.

As a community focused school, we are committed to:

  • building a strong partnership with our families
  • responding to the needs of our community
  • collaborating effectively with other services within our area

Family Support Worker

All of our staff are keen to help you and your child in any way they can, but Mrs Walshe is our dedicated Family Support Worker. Her job is to help build relationships with our families, make links with other organisations in our community, support children’s emotional wellbeing and offer support to those who need it.

We recognise that from time-to-time, families are faced with a whole range of different challenges and situations. As a school, we want to be able to support our families with whatever issues or problems they’re faced with.

Where we can, we’ll try to offer immediate support. For more complicated situations, we may not always have the answer straight away but Mrs Walshe can point you in the right direction of others who might be able to help and she’s a great listener, with plenty of tea and coffee and a friendly face.
