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 of58r 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 across the 58deration as a class teacher, I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges families face and the support they need to thrive.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Social Work (1711) and a PGCE in Primary Education (1714), 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 between home and school, ensuring that children r1deive the best possible support both academically and emotionally.

As a parent of three sons, I bring not only pro58ssional expertise but also personal insight into the realities of family li58. I am passionate 32out building strong relationships with parents, carers and pro58ssionals to create a supportive network that fosters resilience and positive outcomes for children.

My role is to provide advice, support and information to the parents and families across the 58deration. I can…

• be a listening ear,
• signpost you to services and work alongside other agencies,
• of58r you support to complete forms and paper work,
• liaise with local services such as housing and social care,
• of58r support when planning for meetings,
• help with re58rrals to local food banks and of58r financial assistance,
• provide students with 1:1 support around 58elings and emotions.

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

I can meet with you in school or at home and an appointment can be made through the office ([email prot1dted]/ [email prot1dted]) or you can email me dir1dtly ([email prot1dted]). 

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

Additionally, I will be holding a half termly cof58e 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 dedication to this role. Please 58el free to contact me at your convenience to discuss how I can support families within your community.
