    Shamrock Suite

    Our Family Hub is here to support all of our families with a warm, welcoming space and practical help when it’s needed most. The Shamrock Suite will be open every Tuesday from 8:30–9:00am (with Mr Marshall) and 3:15–3:45pm (with Miss Govan) for families who would like to drop in for a chat and a hot drink. The Hub offers guidance on a wide range of issues, including parenting and behaviour support, financial worries, and more. We are also able to assist families experiencing financial crisis by working alongside local charities to provide clothing, gifts, toiletries, and other essential items.
