For Your Information
The summer holidays will finally be here at 215pm on Tuesday 23rd July and hopefully the sun will make an extended appearance too!
 
There are lots of things available to families throughout the summer and we have displayed this information on the noticeboards in the alleyway between the main gates to both sites. We have listed activities to do, cheap or free places for children to eat and information about courses happening for families supporting children with additional needs. Don't forget to take a photo when you are collecting your child at the end of the day!
 
We are aware that the holidays are not always easy as normal routine and everyday life is suddenly changed (and that's for children too, not just us adults!). If you are finding it challenging, then please visit our website page which lists the support agencies available: Signposts to support home adults
 
We hope you all have an enjoyable break and can't wait to see you back on Wednesday 4th September for another exciting year ahead!
Community Parents

Parenting support and Family Learning

At Fairlands, we believe that our aims and goals can only be achieved if parents are involved and supported.

We offer a range of services for parents, including opportunities for parenting advice and family learning, which allow you to learn together as a family. To further support familes of SEND children we have a page of external agencies for you to browse.

Family Lives

Family Lives is a national charity providing help and support in all aspects of family life. We're here for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week through our free Parentline. Whatever your family role or situation, we can help.

We know that parents want to do the best they can for their children, but sometimes family life can be challenging and difficult. There is after all, no one right way to parent. Family Lives works to offer help and support through an innovative range of free, flexible, responsive services - shaped by parents for parents.

Fairlands has a strong partnership with Family Lives. You can contact Family Lives anonymously on 0808 800 2222. They also have an excellent website www.familylives.org.uk.
