The Service Families Dandelion Club
Welcome to the Service Families Dandelion Club!
Our Service Families Dandelion Club has been set up to support our service children and their families within our school. We meet once a week during a lunchtime. We aim to:-
Help settle new children and make the transition into their new class as easy as possible.
To meet other service children within the school in an informal and fun setting.
Support the children, when Mum or Dad might go away, by letter writing, drawing pictures, having a chat with other children who are or have experienced the same feelings.
To be there as a friendly ear for any situation. Our Service Families Pastoral Support Lead has a number of resources that may help you and your child at home during difficult times. Please just come in and ask or drop us an e-mail. We also have a copy of the book, "My Daddy's Going Away" (see the link below), if you would like to view it.
Our Service Families Dandelion Club is run by dedicated, experienced staff : our Service Families Pastoral Support Lead, supported by Mrs Clayton, an experienced member of our Teaching Assistant Team (and ex-service personnel).
We also offer pastoral support for both parents and children as and when needed.
