Family Worker and Information

Terri Rivero is the school’s Family Worker, Deputy Safeguarding Lead, and Attendance Champion. She works Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and can be contacted by emailing terri.rivero@coastalpartnership.co.uk or you can pop into the school office and ask to speak with her.

At our school we pride ourselves in the relationships we develop with our families. The role of the Family Worker is to work directly with parents and carers on a range of issues. You can talk to our Family Worker in confidence and discuss worries or concerns.

The Family Worker works closely with the colleagues in the Inclusion Team to support families to access all aspects of school life.

The Family Worker is also able to sign post you to other agencies and services.
