Support and Safeguarding

At Harewood, we’re here to help. As well as your child’s class teacher, the members of the school’s Pastoral Team are here to help you overcome any barriers to your child’s education and to support their social and emotional development alongside their academic progress.

  • Mrs Mills – Headteacher & DSL
  • Mrs Wood – Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion & DSL
  • Mr Beardshaw Brown – Designated Safeguarding Lead for Online Safety
  • Mrs Fogg – Pastoral Learning Support Mentor & Deputy DSL
  • Mrs Jones – CiC TA

For any queries regarding special educational needs, Mrs Wood can be contacted via the school number – 01452 525364

  • CAP money course- A 3 week course, led by a trained money coach, to help you budget, save and take control of your money.
  • Homework project- A 2 or 3 week course to explore strategies to help your child engage with their homework.
