Support for Families
At North Primary School, we understand that supporting families goes beyond the classroom. We are committed to providing resources and guidance to help parents and carers through any challenges they may face. Whether it's accessing local services, food support, or other community resources, we're here to assist in any way we can.
Parents are welcome to come and collect food for their family each Wednesday at 9am.
​
We hold some second-hand uniforms in school, so please speak to our wellbeing team if you require any for your child.
​
If you think you could be entitled to financial support from the government, please see our page on how to apply for pupil premium funding.
​
We are happy to support you with completing any application form,s e.g housing, high school, GP surgery and have members of staff who will be able to support with translation.
