Front Street Primary

We have created this page because mental health and well-being of children, staff and parents/carers is so very important to us – especially during current times.

Supporting Children to Learn at Home

The Behaviour Support Service have produced a Distance Learning Support leaflet with lots of advice & help for parents while children are at home. The document is on our website and Facebook page.

At Front Street we work closely with a team of professionals who can provide guidance and support for mental health and well-being concerns. This team of people are available to support our children and their parents/carers. They have a website which has may useful activities and links to other support agencies.
