HENRY Parent Group success!
Since March 2025, our school has been hosting its first interactive parenting group!
Our Family Support Worker, Lornette, teamed up with Chrisie and Steph from Dazzle Dance to deliver 8 weekly sessions in The NEST. These sessions helped parents of children aged 5–12 learn new ways to build a happy, healthy family life.
Together, parents:
- Made new friends
- Learned useful tips for family routines
- Built confidence as parents
- Shared advice and support with each other!
Each week focused on a different topic, including:
- What makes a healthy family?
- Finding the right balance
- Understanding children’s behaviour
- Being a parent
- Healthy food swaps
- Family mealtimes
- Making family agreements
- Children growing up
Everyone took part by choice and at their own pace. At the end of the course, all parents received a certificate to celebrate their achievement!
What parents said about HENRY:
“At first I was nervous, but once I met the others, I felt welcome and confident. It helped me massively.”
"Friendly advice.”
“Enjoyed learning about the labels on foods.”
“Good communication with everyone.”
“Enjoyed all of this week – I will be using the family reward system!”
We are so proud of everyone who took part and are excited to run more sessions in September 2025!
