Family Support
At Harbour Primary & Nursery School, we recognise that families may face a range of challenges at different times. These may include concerns relating to behaviour, special educational needs, housing, finances, mental health, wellbeing, or other family circumstances. We are committed to supporting our families by providing a listening ear, practical advice and guidance, and signposting to appropriate services when needed.
We believe that strong partnerships between home and school help to achieve the best possible outcomes for our children. As part of our commitment to our school community, we aim to work alongside families and be a source of support whenever it is needed.
If you would like information, advice, or support, please speak to a member of the school office team, who will help direct you to the most appropriate person.
Alternatively, you can contact Emma Coutts, our Family Liaison Officer, who will be happy to arrange a time to talk through any concerns and discuss how we may be able to help.
