We value the role of the parent.
We work co-operatively with parents and carers to ensure our children achieve their full potential.
Children's Welfare Officer
Meanwood Primary School has a children's welfare officer employed directly by the school. Mrs Helen Hart can support parents directly with advice, or can make referrals to other services, for any family / home issues such as children's behaviour, benefits, debt, domestic abuse, adult mental health, housing and many more.
You can email her directly on: hhart@meanwood.rochdale.sch.uk

If you think an Early Help Assessment may help with your family, do not hesitate to ask the Class Teacher, Children's Welfare Officer, Learning Mentor, Head Teacher or the Special Needs Co-Ordinator for further information.
