When something doesn’t feel right at school

You know your child best. If you have a sense that their needs aren’t being fully understood or met at school — but you’re unsure how to explain your concerns or what to do next — you don’t have to work it out alone.

With over 20 years’ experience in primary education, including time as an assistant headteacher, I offer calm, professional support for parents who are worried about their child at school.

This service is designed to help you gain clarity, confidence, and practical next steps.

How it works

Parents begin by completing a short, confidential questionnaire about their child and their concerns. This allows me to understand the context and prepare thoughtful, focused guidance.

You can then choose the level of support that feels right for you.
