Signposting to Support
At Burry Port Community Primary School, we recognise that all families may need advice, guidance or support from time to time. We are committed to working in partnership with parents and carers to ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive both in school and at home.
This page brings together a range of services, organisations and resources that may be helpful for families, covering areas such as wellbeing, mental health, parenting support, additional learning needs, attendance, finance, housing and community support.
If you are worried about your child or family circumstances, please remember that you are not alone. Many challenges can be addressed more effectively when support is accessed early. If you are unsure where to start, please contact the school and we will do our best to help signpost you to the most appropriate service.
Together, we can continue Guiding Brighter Futures for all our children and families.
