Most of you will have met our Family Workers at one time or another, either at school events or on a one-to-one basis. We are here to offer support and assistance to our families at Whitefield.
Should you have anything you would like to discuss, whether it be starting school, toilet training, housing problems, benefits or if you need help completing forms, then please come and see us.
Our office is located in the main school building next to the reception classes. If you would like to speak with one of us, either contact the main school office by phone 596108 or in person. Alternatively, you can contact us directly on 599314.
Our door is always open and you are welcome at any time!
** NOTICE **
We are very fortunate to have our own foodbank within the school.
During these difficult times, we are able to support you with food parcels and care packages if required. Please contact us and we can arrange for you to collect or we can deliver the parcels to you.
We also have preloved uniform available in various sizes and a selection of coats and shoes. These are available at no charge.
Level Trust also support us with uniform and shoe vouchers so if you need support please let us know.
