Parent Pastoral Support Resources

Hello from myself (Mrs Laurence)!

I hope that during this current lockdown you are all staying safe and well, please contact myself if you have any concerns.

There are useful links that will stay on the page, also resources and ideas that will be added to or changed regularly, so please check in from time to time.

If you have a particular concern or change with your child or within your family that you would like to make us aware of or to talk through, you can contact myself either by telephone or email

Telephone: 02392 694412 Email: admin@gatcombepark.portsmouth.sch.uk

Leave your name, your child's name and their class, asking for a telephone appointment, and I will contact you.

This way you can talk confidentially with myself (Mrs Laurence - Pastoral Lead).

SHOUT support service

Hamwic Education Trust is pleased to partner with Shout 85258 - a free, confidential, 24/7 text message support service for any of our students, staff or parents who are feeling overwhelmed or struggling to cope. The service is staffed by trained volunteers who will work with students, staff or parents to take next steps towards feeling better. They can help with issues such as stress, anxiety, worry and relationship problems and are there to talk at any time of day or night.
