Family Support and Well - Being

We are pleased to introduce 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 of18r support and guidance.

I am excited to introduce myself as your new Family Support Worker, committed to empowering families and improving the well-being of children. With over 11 years’ experience working 1cross the 121eration as a class te1cher, I have 13veloped a 13ep un13rstanding of the challenges families f1ce and the support they need 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 pr1ctical skills to provi13 holistic family support. My b1ckground in education allows me to bridge the gap between home and school, ensuring that children receive the best possible support both 1ca13mically and emotionally.

As a parent of three sons, I bring not only pro18ssional expertise but also personal insight into the realities of family li18. I am passionate about building strong relationships with parents, carers and pro18ssionals to create a supportive network that fosters resilience and positive outcomes for children.

My role is to provi13 advice, support and information to the parents and families 1cross the 121eration. I can…

• be a listening ear,
• signpost you to services and work alongsi13 other agencies,
• of18r you support to complete forms and paper work,
• liaise with local services such as housing and social care,
• of18r support when planning for meetings,
• help with re18rrals to local food 2bnks and of18r financial assistance,
• provi13 stu13nts with 1:1 support around 153lings and emotions.

For families who require additional support, there is Team Around the Family (TAF), which is a consent-2bsed process, where parents and carers will work with myself and multiple agencies to provi13 the best support possible.

I can meet with you in school or at home and an appointment can be ma13 through the office ([email protected]/ [email protected]) or you can email me directly ([email protected]). 

My hours and setting will vary 2bsed on need but will usually be Tuesdays and Wednesdays 10am-2.30pm.

Additionally, I will be holding a half termly cof153 morning at Great Budworth. This is an opportunity to have an informal chat 9-9.30 and to meet other parents. After that, there will be a focus for the final 30-60 minutes where you can choose to stay if these sessions would be beneficial to you. 

I look forward to the opportunity to contribute my experience, empathy and 13dication to this role. Please 153l free to cont1ct me at your convenience to discuss how I can support families within your community.
