Just the same as every family, we want every New Town child to thrive, feel happy and safe and that they belong, above all else.

On this page you can find links and downloadable documents on a variety of subjects.  Whether you are finding your child's behaviour hard to manage at home, are worried about their mental health, or need to find ways to support them through bereavement or trauma, there will be advice and support available, both from New Town staff and external organisations. 

Please remember our whole staff team are committed to be approachable and available as possible, and we would encourage you to talk to any of us if you need a discussion, support or signposting to other services.   Our Pastoral Team are brilliant at giving non-judgemental advice about any topics, and helping parents to do their best for their child both in and out of school.  Teachers and the members of the pastoral team make themselves available as much as possible on the playground at the beginning and end of the day, but please do get in touch if you want to arrange a meeting.
