Parents Partnership

A Parent/Carer Contact Point is available at Tideway entitled “Parents Partnership”

My name is Chris Smith and I am a member of the Learning Support/Inclusion Team. I am available in School and can be contacted by phone, email or to meet with you by appointment only, on Monday afternoons from 2.15p.m. – 2.45p.m. I will be able to offer information to you and provide contact details of where you can find specialist advice. This service is strictly confidential.

I hope to use the “Parents Partnership” to share information and advertise opportunities and ideas within the local community. If you are involved in any local clubs/activities Scouts/Brownies etc., have information or can provide a service that you think others locally would be interested in learning about, I would like to hear from you. Also, if you have any suggestions about how the service can be improved or what other information I can include, I shall be pleased to hear your views.

I can be contacted at Tideway School 517601 ext. 247 or by email
