''Varna is special because the staff members are always there for you and listen to what we have to say. They care for us and always make sure we are happy!''

 

Our Family Support Worker is Mrs C Cooper. 

 

Mrs Cooper is available to talk over the phone or meet face to face by appointment during school hours and can be contacted through the school office. The Family Support Worker has a wide ranging role in school and can offer support to pupils and parents/carers creating a positive link between home and school. If the Family Support Worker cannot help with an issue they will make every effort to direct parents/carers to someone who can. Things the Family Support Worker could help with include completing admission paperwork and identifying different agencies that may offer identified support.

If you have any safeguarding concerns or queries, the Designated Safeguarding Lead in school is Miss Pilling (Deputy Headteacher), she can be contacted at school on 0161 711 1023.

Mrs Whitehurst is our Attendance Assistant and works cloesly with Mrs Cooper to support families in ensuring they have great attendance and punctuality. Mrs Whitehurst monitors and tracks attendance and punctuality data across the school. If your child is absent she will also make the first response call and follow up with a home visit where necessary. If your child is going to be absent please contact the school at the earliest opportunity on the first day of absence and before 9am. We welcome families to contact us with questions and suggestions and we will always do our best to help.
