Parent And Child Support Worker At Oak Tree School
Michele Haigh
My name is Michele and I am the Parent and Child Support Worker at Oak Tree School. I have been at Oak Tree School since October 2018 when I started as a Teaching Assistant. I am honoured to be given the opportunity to do this really important job for the school and I am extremely proud to say I work here.
I have worked with young people and families for over 15 years within the youth offending team, drug and alcohol services and in schools. When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family in the outdoors, playing tennis and I love baking!
As a Parent and Child Support Worker I am available to support with a wide range of matters to include:
– home routines
– behaviour
– emotional well being
– general issues regarding children
– support with completing forms/attending meetings
– signposting to other agencies or help to access information about services in the area
These are just examples and my door is always open! I am available to have an informal chat to discuss your needs and to help you to get the support that is right for you and your family. Equally, if you have any ideas yourself or feedback that would add value to what we already provide at school with family support then please let me know I would love to hear about it!
You can contact me on the school number 01872 264221 or by email Michele.Haigh@oaktreeschoolcornwall.co.uk
Space is a new free programme for any parent and carer who wants to better understand and support their children’s emotions as well as their own.
We have the last few spaces remaining. To book contact the school and ask for Michele Haigh- Parent Support Worker
Request A Food Bank Voucher Here!
As a school we are now able to give parents and carers a foodbank voucher for your nearest Trussell Trust Food Bank if you need emergency food. This doesn’t include the privately run foodbanks.
We will need to pass on some basic information about you in order for the food bank to understand why you need support and to ensure you are given the right emergency food. If you would like to talk this through or you would like to request a voucher then please contact the school directly and ask for Michele Haigh, Parent Support Worker or alternatively email Michele.haigh@oaktreeschoolcornwall.co.uk.

The Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA) is a national award that shows our commitment to Parents, carers and our community. The award is recognised by the DFES and externally validated.
Oak Tree school are working towards the Leading Parent Partnership Award. It will provide a framework not only for reviewing existing practice but for innovation. The process will help us to gain a deeper understanding of parent & carer needs. This process will support us to improve outcomes for all pupils by unpicking the learning barriers that different groups may face.
