Parent Support Adviser
Information for parents and carers
Our Parent Support Advisor, Monika Firago, works in school on Fridays. She offers a range of advice and support and can be contacted by email on psa@alpington.norfolk.sch.uk. We are running a series of drop in sessions this term where children can do activities with their parent, have a drink and a cake and a chance to chat to Monika in person.
Friday Coffee Mornings
All Mums, Dads, Grandparents, Carers, Aunties, Uncles are all welcome to come for a Friday Coffee Morning in the school hall.
We will be hosting Friday Coffee Mornings once a month.
Coffee Mornings will include ways to really help support your child’s learning at school, parenting advice and support and information about a wide range of things from safety to spelling and maths to mindfulness, Lego activities and more!
