Welcome to Sue Sparkes' Child and Family Support Information pAGE
Hello I'm Sue I am the Family Support worker in school and I am part of the School Pastoral Team.
I work closely with class teachers and support with regular school reviews.
I help our children in school by offering them some extra support if needed, this could be a reassuring chat, teaching them some positive behaviour skills or sharing some emotional tools and resources which they can use both in school and at home.
I also work with groups of children to help with things like confidence, self-esteem and friendships.
I work closely with our Parents and Carers who may want some advice around using behaviour tools at home. I deliver a Nurture / Positive Behaviour Support Programme which is on a 1:1 basis and tailored around each Family.
All the support is flexible and confidential – I am happy to have a chat if you are concerned about anything, would like some general advice or need signposting to other services in our local area.
My door is always open!
Sue

Top Tips for a successful family reward system
Whole family reward systems encourage family time together and family cooperation.
The Pebble Pot is an example of a whole family reward system
which is fun, colourful, tactile, visual and noisy.
You will need a clear jar and some glass pebbles/marbles. Pasta shapes would work well too.
