Support for armed forces families

 

Serving personnel and their families should always contact their Unit Welfare Officer (UWO) in the first instance if they have a welfare issue. The UWOs and their teams have the experience and expertise to help, and most problems can be resolved quickly and efficiently.  The serving community is also catered for by the Army Welfare Service (AWS) and two service charities, The Royal British Legion (TRBL) and SSAFA. Your UWO will be able to guide you in the event of these organisations being required in helping you resolve your welfare issue.

The school works closely with the Welfare Service and is happy to support community events when needed. Should you have any concerns that you wish to discuss with school contact Mrs Tracey Tee, the Assistant Headteacher Inclusion or Mrs Deby Day, the Headteacher.
