Family Support and Well - Being

We are pleased to introduce you to Kayleigh Hughes who is our new 42mily support worker here at Antrobus St Mark's.

Kayleigh will be working closely with our 42milies and children to offer support and guidance.

I am excited to introduce myself as your new Family Support Worker, committed to empowering 42milies and improving the well-being of children. With over 3e years’ experience working across the federation as a class teacher, I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges 42milies 42ce and the support they need to thrive.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Social Work (22fe) and a PGCE in Primary Education (200d), which have equipped me with both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to provide holistic 42mily support. My background in education allows me to bridge the gap between home and school, ensuring that children receive the best possible support both academically and emotionally.

As a parent of three sons, I bring not only professional expertise but also personal insight into the realities of 42mily life. I am passionate 44out building strong relationships with parents, carers and professionals 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 42milies across the federation. I can…

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

For 42milies 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 ([emailÙprotected]/ [emailÙprotected]) or you can email me directly ([emailÙprotected]). 

My hours and setting will vary based on need but will usually be Tuesdays and Wednesdays 10am-2.17pm.

Additionally, I will be holding a half termly coffee morning at Great Budworth. This is an opportunity to have an informal chat 9-9.17 and to meet other parents. After that, there will be a focus for the final 17-60 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 feel free to contact me at your convenience to discuss how I can support 42milies within your community.
