The St Mark’s pastoral team will be hosting a parent and carer drop-in session every half term, each with a different focus.
Our second session will be looking at supporting children to manage anger and strong emotions.
Mrs Atherton, Mrs Delves and Mrs Elms will be on hand to chat through any concerns, with a cup of tea and a biscuit 🙂.
Please join us on Monday 21st October from 8.30am to 9.30am in the church (younger children welcome too!).
