OUR SCHOOL'S LEARNING MENTOR
Mrs Banks
I am the Learning Mentor for South Parade Primary School which is a very diverse role and covers many aspects of school life. I am also one of the school's Designated Safeguarding Officers.
I am here for your child/children to offer a safe and comfortable environment. I can give them one to one attention if they have any worries or just need to talk/make sense about something that is on their mind. This will then enable them to succeed in their learning.
I liaise closely with many external agencies and am knowledgeable about who to signpost families to depending on specific needs. We work together to give families as much support as possible.
I also work closely with our Mental Health Lead, Mrs Fowles, again to support our children and families in the most suitable way possible.
I have an extensive range of training which includes various forms of counselling. I am also an affiliated Heart Start Instructor which qualifies me to teach children lifesaving skills.
If you have any concerns regarding your child please do not hesitate to contact me on 01924 302875, or please feel free to call in to see me.
