During pupils’ time at Bracken Lane Primary Academy, there may be a number of reasons where they need some extra support. This could be help with homework, understanding a topic within a lesson, problems with friends or family, or that they’re worried about something inside or outside of the academy.

Any child can raise their concerns with any member of staff who will be able to help or pass this on to the most relevant person. If this is a safeguarding issue, then Mrs Cawkill, Mrs Lawrence, Mrs Skelton or Miss Eade are our designated safeguarding leads, but all staff can support and signpost this.

We take any request for help seriously and put in place measures to provide extra support wherer necessary.
