Family support group

This is open to all of our families at The Wyvern and happens once a month in the New Primary Hall at 10am. There is a theme every time based on issues that parents have asked for. Each session begins with the option of a hot drink and biscuits and a chance to chat with other families. A speaker then gives a short presentation that may be led by Staff from the school or an outside agency. We always end with an opportunity to talk and share any good ideas, hints and tips with each other.
