I welcome families to Watling View School starting with a home visit alongside the class teacher to deliver information and a New Family Pack.  The purpose of my job is to:

  • Support, empower, enhance and improve the quality of life of the children, young people and their families at Watling View School

  • Support the families and young people with Clear Transition information from Children Services to Adult Services and on to Further Education
  • Support the transition of children, young people and their families when entering and exiting school.

I am here to help families connect with the school to ensure their child or young person can get the best experience possible.
