Early Support delivers services and activities for parents, carers, pregnant women and young people aged 0-19 (or 25 with Special Educational Needs/disability).

It is a non-statutory service area that supports children, young people and families to improve their outcomes and reach their goals and aspirations. It does this through positive engagements, sustaining their power, finding out more about the power they have, exploring with them their needs and helping them to identify the things that they would want to change in order to be the person and/ parent they want to be.

Accessing Early Support

You can access Early Support by attending any Early Support hubs or via Harrow's MASH. You can also request the school to make a referral on your behalf.

It is important that all students are fully supported and guided through the process of planning their futures. With a full time, careers and employability coordinator, a professional careers adviser and a programme of education, information, advice and guidance for all students from Years 7 -13 we believe Park High students are well prepared for their futures. All staff at Park High School play an active role in preparing them. We have a full programme of careers education which will help students to develop the knowledge and skills to understand themselves, research the opportunities available, make decisions and move successfully on to the next stage.  The programme is delivered through PSHCEe, special events, enrichment programmes, visits, trips and assemblies and also within individual departments and form time.

Parents are actively encouraged to be involved in all aspects of their child’s progression and future prospects. They have access to form tutors, subject leaders and head of year through parent’s evenings, careers fairs and progress review meetings. Parents are invited to attend the one to one guidance meetings.

At HSCP our philosophy is that “its ok to not feel ok” and “asking for help and support is a good thing”. Sometimes, we all need someone to talk to and sometimes we need someone who is trained to attentively listen and provide a confidential space. We are here to provide that; both for you, children and parents.

This drop-in service offers a strictly confidential space for you to discuss and seek support for any issues that may be impacting you or your family. This could be a concern about your child or children; such as their behaviour, mood or sibling relationships; or it may relate to family circumstances such as a bereavement, divorce or job loss. As part of the drop-in service, we can offer therapeutic support, strategies to manage behaviour or signposting to other agencies who may be able to help.

In order to request an appointment, you can contact our counsellor directly by either email or phone.

I am at Park High every Thursday running the counselling service. My role is to provide therapeutic, emotional support to students, parents/carers and staff members. I also work alongside another therapist, who sees several students every Thursday on a 1:1 basis. I run a drop-in service for Students during lunchtime on Thursdays. Again, students can request an appointment with me directly and they will be provided with a confidential and safe space to discuss any worries or concerns. In some cases, Parents/Carers may wish to refer their child to me, and you can also contact me directly to do so. Although it is important that I respect a student’s decision as to whether they wish to attend or not, I can introduce myself and offer them a space to talk if you do raise any concerns.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me on the details above.

As parents and carers we all want our children to be happy and safe, and it is natural to worry about bullying - particularly if we have experienced bullying ourselves or think our child may be more vulnerable to bullying.

While digital devices can serve as powerful tools for learning and entertainment, excessive usage may negatively impact well-being, including sleep quality. Technology offers remarkable opportunities for creativity and education, but it also carries risks that need thoughtful management.

To support you in navigating the digital landscape with your children, we’ve prepared this guide covering essential topics such as online safety, monitoring and limiting screen time, and understanding age restrictions for online content.

The "Wake Up Wednesday" campaign aims to empower trusted adults with the knowledge and skills to keep up with online safety, mental health, and climate change issues.
