My name is Ellie Ralls and I am the Parent Support Advisor at St Thomas Primary School. I am also the Deputy Safeguarding Lead and Senior Mental Health Lead, as well as monitoring attendance. I am a Drawing and Talking Practitioner and can offer this therapeutic support to children within the school.
You will see me each morning at the school gates, welcoming children and parents to school.
As a parent to primary-aged children myself, I recognise that raising children, whilst incredibly rewarding, can sometimes be challenging, so I am here to offer support in any way I can. I am passionate about building close relationships with families so that we can work together with your child as our shared focus.
Here are some examples of ways I can offer support:
