Stronger Path - Our Bespoke Early Help Support
Our Stronger Path Programme offers families the opportunity to explore the existing strengths in the family and support to identify areas that could be worked on to improve cohesion in the family.
Please read our INTENT STATEMENT for this programme.
Mrs Barlow is the Family Support Worker who runs our Stronger Path offering.
In recent years, families have been offered 1:1 sessions with Mrs Barlow to complete Early Help Assessments; a Triple P course was run by CFWS for our own families within our school with free Shamrock Club sessions being available for the children whilst their parents learnt together; parent and child art sessions were run by Nelson College for children alongside their parents.
In 2024/25, we extended this service and then we increased the offer again in 2025/26. Mrs Barlow has additional slots to support more families. Throughout 25/26, Nelson College offered more family sessions on art, budgeting and cooking healthy meals, supporting your child with writing, supporting your child with Maths across.
From February 2026, we now offer the Youth Connect 5 programme. This is a series of 5 small group sessions with other parents, led by Mrs Barlow with a different focus each week. These include building resilience in children through their parents to positively support the family dynamic. Please enquire in school if this is of interest to you to be added to the waiting list for the next course.
