Supporting Families

 School Provision

  • Staffing structure that promotes support for all pupils and their families. There is an ‘open door’ approach for parents/carers to ask for help when they need it.
  • A whole school ethos that values every child and nurtures them to enable them to achieve their potential.
  • Staff have had SEND training which helps them to support groups and individuals.
  • Our school environment and engaging curriculum provides the children with many enrichment opportunities such as interschool tournaments, outdoor play areas and visits/visitors.
  • We offer Parent Information Evenings with a focus on wellbeing and positive mental health.
  • We have additional support for children who are eligible for Pupil Premium funding and for children who have SEND or mental health and well-being needs.
  • We have Nurture Teaching Assistant who supports children with their social and emotional wellbeing.

Outreach Support

  • EIFS – Early Intervention Family Support – offer drop-in sessions for parents and the children on request and also run programs of support for individual children and their families who have been referred either by the school or on behalf of the family.
  • TFS – Targeted Family Support – will work directly with families who request additional support for more complex needs. 
  • CAMHS can support children who need support for mental health needs. CAMHSCAST workers provide outreach support to schools and parents/carers.
  • We have strong links with the Speech and Language team who come into school and carry out assessments.
  • There are well established links with the feeder middle schools when children leave Dodford at the end of year 4.
  • The school works with Chadsgrove Outreach Support to assess and support our children with SEND. 
  • The school nurse and health visitors offer advice and support to parents/carers.
