Hello, I’m Debbie Thoroughgood our Home school link worker, a role I’m very proud and honoured to have. Over the past fourteen years I’ve been part of our school where I’ve been lucky to get to know lots of our families. I’m looking forward to getting to know our new families and children too. Supporting, working with and creating positive connections with our families and pupils is a passion of mine. I feel family is at the centre of everything and creating positive connections helps to break down barriers, especially if you feel you want support or someone to talk to. I have a history of supporting families and children, my skill set in counselling (cpcab level 3 in counselling studies), emotion coaching, HOPE mentor (helping our pupil’s emotions) and bereavement support allows me to support families and our pupils in many ways.

Being part of our inclusion team and one of our HOPE mentors in school, I support pupil’s emotions, mental health and well-being. Support maybe identified within the school setting or if you feel your child may benefit from some support, please contact me. As a school we proudly work with Tamworth hygiene bank and receive regular deliveries. If we can help, please contact us.

We can also help with food bank vouchers. If you feel you or your child needs support or would like to book a meeting, please call or email the office and I’ll be in touch.
