Hi we are Vicky and Sue and we are the Family Support team here at Woodfields.
We help the families of our pupils at Woodfields navigate daily life.
Whether it be behaviour or developmental worries, relationships, finances, housing or general parenting, we are here to help.
We hold regular workshops, coffee mornings and once a year a positive parenting course.
If you would like to get in contact with us, please speak to the office or the class lead or email us;

Dad’s Group – Sheringham
Please see poster below for the new Dad’s group starting in Sheringham on 7th May. It’s an evening group for Dad’s to meet together, build peer relationships and talk about the ups and downs of being a dad (without their children). This is not a targeted group but open to anyone who fills a dad role (step dads and grandads who care for children are also welcome). If you could encourage them to use the email address on the poster to let us know they are interested it helps to gauge the group size but walk-ins will also be welcome.
It is a group run by dads for dads – and there is food thrown in as a sweetener! We are kicking off with pizza from Stubbys! It is an informal evening. We have heard a lot that dad’s often feel like the “second parent” and we are trying to make a change and offer them opportunities to get together and get answers to questions they might have.
