Bereavement

Bereavement Support

Mrs Robertson works with families to support pupils with issues including bereavement.

We follow appropriate therapeutic approaches using a range of resources including memory boxes and books such as Muddles, Puddles and Sunshine.

In addition, we work with external agencies providing support to families to manage bereavement including external counselling services.

If your family has encountered a bereavement, and you would like support for your child in school, please contact Mrs Robertson to discuss how we can help you.
