We all need a little extra help, support and understanding at different times in our lives. At Hampton Lakes we are committed to supporting our children and families when they need us. This may be through an Early Help or by signposting them, where appropriate to different agencies.

Early Help
Early help is providing children, young people and families with the right support, in the right place, at the right time. We all believe that by supporting children and families earlier we can stop any problems they are facing from getting worse and help them to find the solutions that will make their lives better in the future.
We can do this by working together, building on children’s and families’ strengths, and developing their capacity to make positive changes for themselves.
For more information, please visit the Peterborough City Council’s website here.
You can also access the Early Help Guide in a range of languages, please see below:
If you believe an Early Help would be beneficial to your family, please contact Mrs Katie Steel via the school office.
