Supporting our Families
At Dunalley, we believe that children learn and flourish best when school and home work closely together. We are committed to creating a warm, inclusive and non-judgmental environment where every family feels welcome, supported and able to ask for help when they need it.
Our Child and Family Support Worker is available to work alongside parents, carers and children, offering time to listen, share advice and explore positive ways forward. Support may relate to emotional wellbeing, behavior, routines, attendance, communication, or any challenges a family may be experiencing at home or in school. When specialist or community services may be helpful, we can provide clear signposting and guidance so families know exactly where to turn.
We also recognise that practical support can make a real difference. Dunalley provides a pantry stocked with food and essential items, which families are welcome to access discreetly at any time. In addition, our pre-loved uniform shop offers good quality school uniform at very low cost, or free when needed, helping to reduce financial pressure and waste while supporting our commitment to sustainability.
Everything we do is centered around relationships, early help and working together with kindness and understanding. If you would like information, support or simply a friendly conversation, please contact our Child and Family Support Worker through the school office, or speak to a member of staff at drop-off or pick-up. No question or worry is ever too small — we are here to help.
