Supporting your child in their transition back to school

25th Aug 2020

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful summer break and are ready to get started back to school!

I get that some of you parents and children may be feeling nervous about the return to school and what the new academic year may hold, so I've put together some tips and suggestions that might be of use for parents who's children might be feeling a bit anxious about going back to school (take what you need from it!)
The truth is these are still strange times and there are still a lot of unknowns, but together we will all get through it.

I am available to offer support for any families who may be struggling with the transition back to school, please feel free to contact me on 07933500708 or via email claire.murphy@barnardos.org.uk

I am looking forward to the year ahead, to catch up with some familiar faces and to get to know some new ones!

Stay safe,

Claire @ Jigsaw
