At our school, we recognise the challenges that families face in bringing up children. We endeavour to create a school ethos that promotes trust between parents/carers and school, as well as between all adults and children, so that everyone knows who they are able to talk to if they have any concerns or worries.  There may be times when you need extra help and support.  If this is the case, please come and talk to us. Providing early help to our pupils and families at Himbleton means we are more effective in promoting support as soon as we can which can be at any point in a child’s life, from early years all the way through to teenage years.

Our Early Help Offer can be downloaded below.  This is a pathway to support your child and you as they grow up when you, or they, may need further support or guidance. 

Early Help can support children and their families who may be struggling with:

• Routines and family rules
• Families who may not be eating healthy food
• Keeping to a healthy lifestyle
• Children who are caring for a family member
• Children who may not want to go to school for different reasons
• Disability within the family
• Children in the family have special educational needs (SEND)
• Children who may be becoming involved in anti-social or criminal behaviour
• Children who go missing from home
• Children or parents / carers misusing drugs or alcohol
• Children at risk of being tricked, forced, or made to work in the criminal world  
• Children who may need support because they may live in a home and see drug or alcohol abuse or adult mental health problems.
• Children who have parents who argue a lot (and sometimes might hurt each other) whether the parents live together or apart.
• Children at risk of being groomed to join groups which support illegal views
• A privately fostered child (a child from another family living within your family home)
• Families who may need support with finances
