Help and Support
Need Support? We're Here to Help
At Bridge Hall Primary, we understand that sometimes children and families need extra support — and we're here for you every step of the way. If you have any concerns about your child, there are several ways to get help:
👂 Talk to Us
You can speak to our Welfare Assistant or any member of staff. We’re always happy to help — whether it's about:
📉 Attendance
📚 Homework
🧑🤝🧑 Bullying or friendship worries
Often, a quick conversation is the first and best step to finding a solution.
🤝 Early Help Team Drop-In Sessions
We regularly host Early Help drop-in sessions, where you can chat with an experienced support worker who’s independent of the school.
📅 You can book a session through the School Office - 0161 480 7889
📝 Early Help Assessment
Some of our staff are trained to complete an Early Help Assessment, which can connect you with other services and professionals who can support your family.
