Message from Your Parent Support Advisor
It is so lovely seeing you all in the mornings and for those of you who are new to Leys I am your support, assisting parents through your child’s journey throughout Leys Primary School. Conversations are private and confidential and I will do my best to support you in any way that I can with any matters, whatever they may be. Our website is full of important information, helping our community and especially our Leys Parents/Carers. I look forward to meeting you all and can be contacted via the main school office by telephone on 020 8270 6470 or you can make an appointment to see me in person. Unfortunately, I am unable to assist you with any in-depth matters while on gate duty, where most of you will see me.
Thank you to all who attended my Coffee Morning, it was lovely to see you and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and lovely comments that I have received. Our Coffee Morning is a great opportunity to get to know our parents/carers who have children that attend our school. Please keep checking our website for future workshops and events.
Warmest wishes,
Mrs. J Walters PSA/Medical/Admissions
