Children, Parents and Community Team

At Marsden Community Primary School we want to make sure that children are happy, secure and successful. Sometimes children or their families need extra help to make sure of this. There is a team of adults within school who organise and provide additional support for parents, carers and children, ensuring the best provision for all.

Our team are committed to providing the best care and support for all of our children and their families. If at any time you wish to speak to a member of the team and you are unsure of where to find us, please leave a message at the main office and we will make every effort to contact you on the same day.

Inclusion Manager

Rachel Alker

is our school Inclusion Manager and SENDCo (Special Educational Needs and DisabilitiesCo-ordinator). She works closely with your child’s teacher to track your child’s progress in school and organise extra support if your child is experiencing difficulties. This support may be provided by adults in school or specialists from outside of school such as Speech and Language Therapists. If you think your child may need additional support or you are worried about your child’s progress please talk to the class teacher or Mrs Alker.
Mrs Alker can be contacted on 01282 612769
   

Education and Parent Advisor

Charlotte Rimmer

I work within the Inclusion Team, supporting families with medical difficulties - this may be through referrals to the School Nursing Team or liaison with other medical professionals. I document medication kept in school and ensure staff are aware of medical needs within their class and across school. I provide information for both parents and learners to help improve their Mental Health. I also offer support to our families here at Marsden; providing parenting and financial advice during challenging times. I provide resources and assessment tools for adults working with EAL learners to help them tackle language barriers. I also work with small groups across school to help learners with their specific individual needs so they can perform to the best of their abilities.
