We care about all our families and we are here for you!
A message from Mrs Legge
I have worked at Sugar Hill Primary since 2012 and during this time I have been privileged to support many families.
We are fully committed to helping parents and carers find solutions to any concerns or worries they may have.
Reaching out for support is an important first step, and there is absolutely no shame in asking for help when life becomes challenging.
We have strong links with a range of professionals and voluntary services and can signpost families to support that meets their needs.
Remember—while we cannot always control what happens in life, we can choose how we respond to it.
We also encourage families to seek additional support through the Newton Aycliffe Family Hub, which offers a variety of courses, workshops and services designed to help parents and carers support their children’s development, wellbeing and behaviour.
The Family Hub is a fantastic source of guidance, advice and early help for families with children of all ages.
ALWAYS REMEMBER:
“People who need help sometimes look a lot like people who don’t need help.”
— Glennon Doyle

Wellbeing Award for Schools
On March 30th 2022 we earned the Wellbeing Award for Schools. As part of this award we have completed a Case Study of the work we have completed. We are proud of our Verification Report and are delighted to share this with you via our website.
We are currently working with a mental health practitioner, who comes into school once a week to work with staff and children supporting emotional literacy and helping children to understand their thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Piece of Mind colleagues deliver many different interventions and over the course of time we will be developing a programme of support across the whole school.
As part of this work we hope this booklet we have produced helps parents and carers know more about local services and services in the wider community.
