Probably the most common question asked by parents is "what can we do to help my son reach his potential at school?" Another question is "have you got anything we can pass to his teacher?" We plan to add as many answers as we can to this page, so whether you are an anxious parent or concerned teacher, mark this page in your Favourites and be sure to check here regularly for new additions. Remember that your contribution is vital, too; if you have met a difficult stumbling block, found a technique that really works or a teacher with great ideas, then let us know and we will do our best to get it up here.
Attached here is a self contained list of links to help teachers & parents track down the resources they may need throughout the school years to help the boy with KS reach his full potential. Don't forget to write in if you have something extra to add. The page is self contained so you can print it off, but it is easier to keep updated if NOT in pdf form, so we will have it open in its own window. We hope this helps - keep us informed....

Bullying has been a feature of schooling that is not only unwelcome, but also surprisingly common. Our May 2001 Newsletter published a 9 page report on strategies to cope with a range of types of bullying, as well as pointing us to several great resources. Rather than print them all, we suggest you visit childline's fantastic help page on bullying (Great website guys)
