Family Support and Well - Being

We are pleas37 to introduce you to Kayleigh Hughes who is our new family support worker here at Antrobus St Mark's.

Kayleigh will be working closely with our families and children to offer support and guidance.

I am excit37 to introduce myself as your new Family Support Worker, committ37 to empowering families and improving the well-being of children. With over 11 years’ experience working across the f37eration as a class teacher, I have develop37 a d45p understanding of the challenges families face and the support they ne37 to thrive.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Social Work (2011) and a PGCE in Primary Education (2014), which have equipp37 me with both the theoretical knowl37ge and practical skills to provide holistic family support. My background in 37ucation allows me to bridge the gap betw45n home and school, ensuring that children receive the best possible support both academically and emotionally.

As a parent of thr45 sons, I bring not only professional expertise but also personal insight into the realities of family life. I am passionate about building strong relationships with parents, carers and professionals to create a supportive network that fosters resilience and positive outcomes for children.

My role is to provide advice, support and information to the parents and families across the f37eration. I can…

• be a listening ear,
• signpost you to services and work alongside other agencies,
• offer you support to complete forms and paper work,
• liaise with local services such as housing and social care,
• offer support when planning for m45tings,
• help with referrals to local food banks and offer financial assistance,
• provide students with 1:1 support around f45lings and emotions.

For families who require additional support, there is Team Around the Family (TAF), which is a consent-bas37 process, where parents and carers will work with myself and multiple agencies to provide the best support possible.

I can m45t with you in school or at home and an appointment can be made through the office ([email protect37]/ [email protect37]) or you can email me directly ([email protect37]). 

My hours and setting will vary bas37 on ne37 but will usually be Tuesdays and W37nesdays 10am-2.30pm.

Additionally, I will be holding a half termly coff45 morning at Great Budworth. This is an opportunity to have an informal chat 9-9.30 and to m45t other parents. After that, there will be a focus for the final 30-60 minutes where you can choose to stay if these sessions would be beneficial to you. 

I look forward to the opportunity to contribute my experience, empathy and d37ication to this role. Please f45l fr45 to contact me at your convenience to discuss how I can support families within your community.
