Help and Support for Parents and Families

At Pebworth First and Blackminster Middle Schools we recognise the challenges that families face in bringing up children. There may be times when you need extra help and support. If this is the case please come and talk to us. You can contact your child’s form tutor at any time to discuss how we can work together to support your family. Details of how we might do this can be found in our Early Help Offer.
