Read MoreAt Gosford Park we are proud of the support we are able to offer to families and the community. We have a team of dedicated workers ensuring that we are able to overcome any barriers to learning.
Gosford Park Primary School fully recognises the contribution it can make to protect children and support pupils in school. We aim to safeguard and promote our pupils’ welfare, safety and health by fostering an honest, open, caring and supportive climate. The pupils’ welfare is of paramount importance.
In the interest of safeguarding children there may be occasions when the school has to consult other agencies without a parent’s prior knowledge. The school’s first concern is the child’s welfare and the school has a duty to act to protect the child at all times. Such consultation may result in a formal referral which could prompt visits from social services and/or the police. We fully understand that this can be a very distressing set of circumstances, but we can only assure you that we follow the procedures laid down by the Coventry Safeguarding Board.
Parent Support
The Family Worker at Gosford Park has the role to advise and support where there are issues for children and families at home that do or could impact upon children within the school environment. They attend and represent the school at meetings co-ordinated by other agencies where there are support needs or safeguarding issues.
They can also offer advice and support to parents directly and steer them towards services and agencies that may be able to help them.
Support can also be more informal and could include support around routines, behaviour management and also direct work with children in areas such as bereavement, anger management, social relationships and protective behaviours.
It is also part of their role to explore and implement other ways that school can support our children and families. For example, we are currently running a programme in partnership with Adult Learning for parents of children in Nursery and Reception called ’Ready for Reading’ which will help parents understand how children are taught to read at Gosford park and how they can help at home.
If you think they can be of any help to your child or family, please don’t hesitate to contact enquiries@gosfordpark.coventry.sch.uk or on the main school number, 024 76223281
