"Pupils develop highly positive attitudes to learning because relationships with staff are strong. Adults encourage pupils to ‘have a go’ and reinforce the message that they should work without fear of failure. Consequently, pupils willingly try new things, confident that their teachers and learning support assistants will help them if they go wrong or get stuck."

Family Workers at St Joseph's

Here to Support You and Your Family

At St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, we understand that a child’s wellbeing and success at school are closely linked to the support they receive at home. That’s why we have a dedicated team of Family Workers who are here to work in partnership with parents and carers, offering guidance, practical help, and a listening ear when it’s needed most.

Our Family Workers are a vital part of our school community, helping to build strong relationships between home and school and ensuring that every child has the best possible chance to thrive.

How We Can Help

Our Family Workers offer support with a wide range of issues, including:

  • Parenting advice and emotional support
  • Attendance and punctuality concerns
  • Behaviour strategies at home
  • Signposting to local services and agencies
  • Help with completing forms or accessing benefits
  • Support during times of family change or difficulty
  • Encouraging positive routines and home learning

Whether you need a one-off conversation or more regular support, our team is here to help in a friendly, non-judgemental way.

Meet the Team

Our Family Workers are approachable, experienced, and committed to supporting families in a confidential and respectful manner. You can contact them directly through the school office or speak to your child’s class teacher for a referral.

Working Together

We believe that strong partnerships with families are key to a child’s success. By working together, we can help your child feel safe, supported, and confident—both in and out of the classroom.

If you have any concerns or would simply like to talk, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. No problem is too small, and every conversation is treated with care and confidentiality.
