Supporting children after a frightening event
We are all shocked and saddened by the recent tragic fire at Grenfell Tower and understand that this is an incredibly difficult time for many of you. As a school community, we want to make sure we look after each other and we are working with professionals to understand how best to do this. We know from research that in the early weeks after a traumatic event it is better not to bring in complete strangers to support children as they really need family and trusted adults around them. We have spoken to our staff and asked them to report any concerns they may have about pupils and will be working with other agencies in the coming months. In the meantime we have been advised to make the attached documents available to you all and to let you know that we will be running a session at 9 am on the 10th July that will be led by the EP Helen Kerslake. We will email you more information about this session.
