Understanding Your Child |
Beam |
|
Understanding Your Child is a parenting course delivered over ten weeks, two hours per week. It's intended for parents and carers who want to know more about sensitive and effective parenting. It aims to develop a framework of thinking about parent/child relationships, which can be developed into a lifelong skill. This in turn promotes behaviour management.
This course is very well received and provides valuable insights into child development and behaviour. You can find more information using the website link below or please get in touch with the Parenting Team directly via their new Helpline (details below).

Emotional Literacy Support Assistant
Mrs Kate Coutts is our trained Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA). Mrs Coutts has received specialist training from the Educational Psychology Service on aspects of the following:
- Emotional awareness
- Self-esteem
- Anger management
- Social and friendship skills
ELSA is an initiative to support the emotional and mental health needs of pupils. We recognise that children learn better in school if their emotional and psychological needs are met.
There will always be children in our school who face life-challenges that might detract from their ability to engage wiht learning. At Trinity, we believe that if we give them a chance to think about their difficulties within the context of a safe and supportive relationship we can help and increase their resilience, providing them with strategies to overcome challenges.
If you feel that your child may benefit from, feel free to contact your child's classteacher, headteacher or Mrs Coutts.
