Getting Help

We understand that it can be hard to talk to someone about the difficulties that you and your family may be facing. People often try to sort things out themselves or hope that their worries will go away and do not seek help until the situation has become very difficult. Whatever your circumstances, we would encourage you to seek advice before things become more difficult. There is no shame in seeking support and both the school and the organisations listed in the links above, will help with sensitivity and confidentiality.

Please talk to us about your concerns so that we can work together to get you and your family the best possible support.

You can pop into the school office or email admin@inspirewoodside.co.uk and ask to make an appointment to see Mrs Georgiades.
