Family Support Worker & Learning Mentor
Our Family Support Worker and Learning Mentor is Miss Aneeka Tappenden.
Miss Tappenden has over 15 years’ experience working with children and families in Kent and has worked at the school since 2016.
Miss Tappenden works with children individually or in small groups to support their learning and emotional wellbeing, promote good social skills, address issues around behaviour and provide individualised support to help them cope during the school day.
She works with parents, grandparents and carers to help families overcome any barriers to their children’s learning by providing advice and support when things are getting difficult. She offers a range of parent workshops to support family functioning and wellbeing and also assists families in accessing local services to support their child’s health and wellbeing needs.

Introduction
As part of the usual School support package, I work with children individually or in small groups to support their learning, promote good social skills, address issues around behaviour and provide emotional check-ins to help them cope during the School day. Every child has different needs and those needs can change over time or can be affected by whatever is going on for you as a family.
About US
Our Story
I work with parents, grandparents and carers to help families overcome any barriers to their children’s learning by providing advice and support when things are getting difficult. This can happen from time to time for all sorts of reasons and I hope you will feel comfortable approaching me for help around issues like health, bereavement, parenting skills, relationship breakdown, feeling included, moving onto Secondary or anything else you might be dealing with as a family
Important Note
We offer a wide range of parent workshops which you can book onto (see our Parent Learning page for an up-to-date list). I can also assist you with referrals to other services your family may need such as the Schools Health Service, Early Help, Paediatrician & many more.
