Kinloss Primary School's Deployment Club
Our Deployment Club has been supported and funded this year by the work of the Armed Forces Education Trust and we are very grateful for theri support. They have also provided support through 1:1 sessions and group sessions for pupils from Armed Forces Families at Kinloss. More information about the Armed Forces Education Trust can be found here:https://armedforceseducation.org/
Deployment Club
If you are deployed at all, please inform the school as we have additional supports we can put in place for your child, such as attendance at our Parents’ Working Away (PWA) club where designated support staff will provide opportunities for your child to be supported through a range of activities including completing e-blueys, making cards, making memory jars and developing emotional literacy.
Deployments and transitions in and out of Kinloss Primary School are supported by our whole school team, and especially by our dedicated Armed Forces Pupil Support Worker - Mrs Homer, funded by The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust. Mrs Homer makes contact with children from Armed Forces families as soon as they join us and is able to provide support and reassurance as and when it is needed during times of deployment and transitions. She works with individual children, small groups and lunchtime Deployment club.
We have a dedicated room where our lunchtime Deployment group (PWA) meet.
Mrs Homer checks in daily with the children who may need support and shares with parents the forms to let us know when a parent is about to be deployed or work away from home.
The children have access to a range of books and support materials to help them.
Our Deployed parent form can be accessed below if you require it and sent into school for Mrs Homer, thank you.
