Parent Support
At Langar Primary School we believe that good pastoral support focusses on nurturing and supporting the individual needs of each child and where appropriate the parent also.
Mrs George as Pastoral Lead ensures that the emotional difficulties and general well-being are supported so that barriers to learning can be addressed and strategies implemented.
We aim to develop positive relationships with children and their families, responding quickly as possible to any issues to ensure difficulties are discussed and resolved.
We will always try and point you in the right direction for help, we have a number of support documents on a varying amount of topics. We also hope that the following links will give you guidance if needed.
