Hello, my name is Trisha Pointon. I am St. Anne'e Pastoral Manager and Designated Safeguarding Lead. I am in school every day. My role is to provide support and intervention to pupils and families across the school from EYFS to Y6.  I liaise work closely with other members of the School Wellbeing Team, teachers, support staff and SENDCO to address any concerns raised by parents/carers, pupils and teachers, as agreed by the Headteacher, focusing on early intervention so that little problems don’t become big ones.

Mrs Pointon is also supported by Miss Louise Chapman - St Anne's Pupil Wellbeing Manager supporting the pastoral and mental health needs of our children. Miss Chapman and Mrs Pointon are in school 5 days a week and are avaialable to support with any concners or problems you may have regarding your child's welfare, pastoral and mental health needs.  Mrs Pointon and Miss Chapman work very closely with all teachers, SENDCO and other staff , as part of the School's Wellbeing Team to ensure the children have access to services, interventions and support to meet their needs. Please contact any member of the Team should you need to discuss any aspect of your child's wellbeing at St Anne's.

As a whole school team:

We work to encourage parental involvement within school and aim to empower parents to take an active role in their child’s social, emotional and educational development. We can help to overcome barriers to your children’s learning by ensuring there is effective dialogue between parents and teachers with regard to your child’s progress. 

 The school SEND, Safeguarding and Wellbeing Team work closely with outside agencies to support you and your child by offering support to our children and families at times when there may be changes in their lives or extra support is required. We  are here to listen and care in a non-judgemental way. We have access to an extensive range of information, which means we are able to signpost parents to a variety of services who may be able to help.

Our aim is to build strong relationships with you so that every child in our school is happy, thriving and fulfilling their potential.

You can arrange an appointment with any member of the school Wellbeing Team by appointment over the phone or via messaging on Class Do Jo - although of course if you are in need of an urgent chat, please feel free to pop in and we wil always meet with you.
