Family worker
At Grangetown Primary School we also have a Family Worker called Lauren Ramsey who supports families if & when they need it. Lauren works in school on a Wednesday to support with our children and families. The role of the family support worker is to offer support to the whole family at the earliest opportunity. It is about helping families to face problems and get the right support at the right time.
Together, the whole school community aims to provide a safe and happy working environment for all pupils so that they can achieve their best and have a positive contribution to school and community life.
