Dear Parent/Carers,
I am writing to inform you that St Joseph’s Primary School work with a provision called Your Space to improve the confidence and well-being of children and young people.
Your Space at St Joseph’s will provide emotional and therapeutic support to pupils, families, and staff. The service offers pupils some space to express themselves through talking and creative work and to think about any worries that they may have.
Lunchtime Drop in
One of the most popular aspects on offer at St Joseph’s will be the lunchtime drop-in. Lunchtime drop-in is open to all pupils and allows them to make an appointment to spend 15 minutes with a member of Your Space, either by themselves or with a group of friends. Pupils often talk about friendships or any worries they may have.
Parental Consent
Unless we hear otherwise from you, the school and Your Space will assume that pupils have their parent/carer’s permission to come along if they so choose. We also assume that you are happy for the school to share with Your Space, your child’s name, date of birth, gender and ethnicity for evaluation purposes, this information will be stored securely and anonymised.
Please contact Natalie Gibb from Your Space at St Joseph’s should you have any questions. Alternatively, if you do not want your child to participate in lunchtime drop-in, you may complete the return slip by Wednesday 2nd September
I do not want my child to participate in Your Space at St Joseph’s
