Family Support

St Mary’s High School’s Christian Ethos is that “We are the rich soil in which seeds flourish and roots grow”. In line with the ethos of the school, Governors are committed to ensuring that St Mary’s serves the local community by being at the centre of the local community.

Hertfordshire’s Families First website provides valuable information, advice, and support for families. It covers a wide range of topics, including parenting advice, childcare, emotional and mental health, relationship support, and services for young people and much more.

If you need more help beyond your usual support network (such as health visitors, schools, or family centres), Families First can work with you to create a personalized package of support. It’s available to all Hertfordshire families with children under 18 (or up to 25 if they have a learning need or disability).
Visit the Families First website for resources and assistance:

www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/familiesfirstschools

BCW Schools Partnership

St Mary’s CE High School is the lead school for the Broxbourne, Cheshunt and Waltham Cross (BCW) School Partnership consisting of a small team of highly trained family support workers committed to supporting the local community

Alison Royce: School Family Support Coordinator
Gail Marino: Senior Family Support Worker

The BCW Family support team provide high quality support for the benefit of children, young people and families in the Borough of Broxbourne. We are employed by St Mary’s School and, in part, funded by Hertfordshire County Council to provide family support for families.

Support is available to all families whose children attend one of our partnership schools as listed below:

  • St Mary’s CE High School
  • Dewhurst St Mary CE Primary School
  • Fairfields Primary School
  • Holy Trinity CE Primary School
  • St Paul’s Catholic Primary School

Support can be provided directly by Family Support Workers, or they can signpost to other agencies, on topics such as money advice; support with housing; understanding and accessing benefits; managing challenging behaviour; domestic abuse; family breakdown; bereavement and support with mental health

Family support Workers are able to work with parents/carers to provide support, as well as working directly with pupils/students if needed providing a holistic approach

How can I be supported by a Family Support Worker?

Parents/carers can self -refer for support. The school can refer parents/carers and this is done with the full agreement of the parent/carer.

For more information or to make a referral, please call Alison Royce on 01992 412647 or email Alison.royce@st-maryshigh.herts.sch.uk
