Place2Be
Most of you will know who I am but to those parents/carers who are new to the school, my name is Hannah and my role at Pear Tree is to support the wellbeing of your children.
The OPT OUT form attached below provides information about a service I run in school time called Place2Talk. I offer emotional support to all children. Staff, parents or children can make the decision on whether they want to talk to me and accept the professional support that I offer.
However if you DO NOT want your child to access this service then please complete the form attached confirming this decision and hand into the school office or email hannah.donnan@place2be.org.uk
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me, my number is provided on the letter.
Thank you
SUMMER 2024 RELAUNCH
Throughout the summer break we were lucky enough to have Barratt homes kindly donate soft furnishings, resources and time to improve the dedicated space given to Place2Be.
The launch for the unit was celebrated with a visit from ITV who were able to capture the great work being done at Pear Tree.
