Parent Support
The school has excellent support for families and this is provided by our Parent Support Advisers (PSAs). The PSAs can support with a wide range of issues. Each Parent Support Adviser covers particular year groups:
• Kirsty Barr (Working week: Weds, Thurs, Fri)
• Lynn Catchpole covers key stage 4 (Working Week: Tues, Weds, Thurs)
• Emma Kitchener covers Post 16 (Based with Post 16 at Thornes Park Mon, Wed, Thursday)
The landline number for all PSAs is the school number 01924 264 240. The mobile contacts for PSAs are:
• Kirsty Barr: 0777 229 2279
• Lynn Catchpole: 0777 229 2488
• Emma Kitchener: 0749 553 9721
Our Parent Support Team also works outside of term time. This helps to provide support during what can be difficult times for families. During the holidays, the PSAs work collaboratively, so it might not be the PSA you know best offering support, but all our PSAs have access to shared files so they can quickly get up to speed on your child’s needs.
We hope that the support offered is always excellent. However, if you do have any concerns, we would encourage you firstly to speak to the PSA themselves.
Our School SENCO is Nicola Hirst you can contact her on the school number or by email :
Please call Admin and speak with Sally Holmes (SENCO Assistant) or Jen Ablett (SEN Admin) who will be able to help you with any queries regarding your EHCP or EHCP annual meetings.
If this does not clarify or resolve your concern, please then contact Pam Pickles, School Business Manager, on admin@highfield.wakefield.sch.uk or telephone 01924 264240.
