We’ve been gradually establishing a presence in the High School and raising our profile with staff and pupils in recent years through participating in annual Health and Wellbeing Fairs / Youth Fair and attending various meetings, including several Team around the Child meetings. We’re acutely aware that many school pupils and their families are experiencing financial hardship – they increasingly depend on the additional income from their son or daughter’s Education Maintenance Allowance (i.e. weekly term-time payment of £30) in addition to Child Benefit and other benefits such as Child Tax Credits. We’d welcome this funding so that we can pilot a dedicated outreach in Denny High School to assess the demand for, and how best to deliver, bespoke support for young people and their families who are in, or at risk of, financial difficulties. The school’s Depute Rector is keen for this project to get underway asap.
