Lee Brigg is a family, and we have a very dedicated and highly-skilled staff team who are here to support parents as well as children.
Our Wellbeing Team has expertise across a wide range of areas. We strongly believe that children learn best when they are happy, settled and have good attendance, and we strive to ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow, achieve and shine. We know that this works best when parents are supported too, and we support families with a wide range of issues. We can support with almost anything that you can think of, whether that be help completing a form, signposting to external support or help sorting bus routes. This doesn’t stop at 3:15pm, and if you need to speak to someone, no matter how big or small the issue may seem, please do!
