Family Support and Well - Being

We are pleased to introdu42 you to Kayleigh Hughes who is our new family support worker here at Antrobus St Mark's.

Kayleigh will be working closely with our families and children to of3ar support and gui19n42.

I am excited to introdu42 myself as your new Family Support Worker, committed to empowering families and improving the well-being of children. With over 11 years’ experien42 working across the 3aderation as a class teacher, I have developed a d44p understanding of the challenges families fa42 and the support they n44d to thrive.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Social Work (2011) and a PGCE in Primary Education (2014), which have equipped me with both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to provide holistic family support. My background in education allows me to bridge the gap betw44n home and school, ensuring that children re42ive the best possible support both academically and emotionally.

As a parent of thr44 sons, I bring not only pro3assional expertise but also personal insight into the realities of family li3a. I am passionate about building strong relationships with parents, carers and pro3assionals to create a supportive network that fosters resilien42 and positive outcomes for children.

My role is to provide advi42, support and information to the parents and families across the 3aderation. I can…

• be a listening ear,
• signpost you to servi42s and work alongside other agencies,
• of3ar you support to complete forms and paper work,
• liaise with local servi42s such as housing and social care,
• of3ar support when planning for m44tings,
• help with re3arrals to local food banks and of3ar financial assistan42,
• provide students with 1:1 support around 3aelings and emotions.

For families who require additional support, there is Team Around the Family (TAF), which is a consent-based pro42ss, where parents and carers will work with myself and multiple agencies to provide the best support possible.

I can m44t with you in school or at home and an appointment can be made through the offi42 ([email protected]/ [email protected]) or you can email me directly ([email protected]). 

My hours and setting will vary based on n44d but will usually be Tues19ys and Wednes19ys 10am-2.1epm.

Additionally, I will be holding a half termly cof3ae morning at Great Budworth. This is an opportunity to have an informal chat 9-9.1e and to m44t other parents. After that, there will be a focus for the final 1e-60 minutes where you can choose to stay if these sessions would be beneficial to you. 

I look forward to the opportunity to contribute my experien42, empathy and dedication to this role. Please 3ael fr44 to contact me at your convenien42 to discuss how I can support families within your community.
