Evidence families and professionals can find quickly.
Pupils are engaging well with learning, attendance has increased, qualifications achieved have significantly increased, the tutoring programme continues to make a positive impact, and leadership improvements have had a positive impact on staff, pupils and parent carers.
Practical support without judgement.
Being a parent is never easy, and PCT Education wants to give families as much support as possible. That can be a quick regular catch up, a visit at school, home or another local venue, attending meetings or courses, supporting a Family Support Plan, contacting other services, liaising with professionals, helping with paperwork or simply listening.
Strong and open relationships with families matter because everyone is working together to support the learning and development of the young person, helping them grow into happy and confident adults.
Talk to the family support team
Online safety skills are skills for life.
The internet creates educational and social opportunities, but young people also need support to recognise risk and make sensible, informed choices online.
Understand the risks
Parents who understand the internet and common online risks are better placed to support safe choices.
Learn at school
PCT has a clear internet safety policy and students are educated each year about staying safe online.
Report concerns
Families can report school related E-Safety concerns to staff, and serious inappropriate online behaviour can be reported through CEOP.
