She is a trained THRIVE practitioner with a focus on family focused interventions. Alison facilitates access to training such as mental health and well-being through Lancashire Adult Learning, support packages from Action for ASD, signposting to agencies, attending meetings and generally supporting engagement from parents to work in partnership with school.
Alison is also the back-up Designated Safeguarding Lead and a Mental Health First Aider.
The staff at PCHS are always helpful and happy to help, any concerns raised are always dealt with promptly. A fantastic school overall that wants the best for pupils and families.
Excellent communication from home to school. Children are happy, always a warm welcome. Outstanding Ofsted was well deserved. Having seen the Oliver production, I was overwhelmed by the fantastic performance. Well done to all the pupils and staff for all their hard work! Can’t wait for the next one!
