Early Help Drop-In Coffee Mornings at Much Wenlock Primary School
At Much Wenlock Primary School and Nursery, we know that parenting isn’t always easy—and sometimes, a bit of support or advice can make a big difference.
That’s why we host Early Help Drop-In Mornings on the first Tuesday of every month during term time, giving parents and carers the opportunity to speak informally with our Early Help Support Worker, Philippa Everington.
What to Expect
These sessions are relaxed, friendly, and completely confidential. Whether you want to:
- Ask for advice around routines, behaviour, or relationships
- Talk through a worry or concern
- Find out what support is available for your family
- Or simply have a listening ear—
You’re very welcome to come along. No appointment is needed—just pop into the school office between 9:30am and 11:00am.
When?
First Tuesday of every month (term time only)
9:30am – 11:00am
School office – just drop in!
Philippa is experienced, understanding, and here to help signpost or support families in a non-judgemental and approachable way. Sometimes, just having a chat can be the first step to finding the right support.
If you’d like to find out more, please speak to a member of staff—we’re always happy to help.
