OLSJ Family Wellbeing & Support Directory

"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ."

Galatians 6:2

At Our Lady & St Joseph Catholic Primary School, we are committed to supporting the wellbeing of our children, families and wider community. We recognise that from time to time families may need additional support, guidance or access to services, and we want to ensure that help is easy to find when it is needed.

Our Pastoral Lead, Mrs Rowe, has carefully gathered the information within this directory to provide families with a single point of reference for a wide range of local and national support services. Whether you are looking for help with food provision, financial support, mental health and wellbeing, parenting programmes, young carers, domestic abuse support, bereavement services or community resources, we hope this guide will help you access the support available.

Services that require a referral from school have been highlighted in yellow throughout this directory. If you feel that you or your family would benefit from any of these services, please contact the school by emailing [email protected] . A member of our Safeguarding Team will ensure that the most appropriate member of staff meets with you to discuss your needs and help make the necessary referrals and next steps.

Please remember that you are not alone. We are here to listen, support and work alongside you. Together, we can help ensure that every child and family within our school community is able to flourish.
