Parrett & Axe CE VA Primary SchoolF.A.C.E
F.A.C.E. (Families, Advice, Community, Education) is an online parenting-advice and family support membership service. It helps schools partner with parents by giving access to expert advice, resources, and workshops / webinars which promote strong home-school relationships, child wellbeing, and family resilience.
Why Parrett & Axe are Members
At Parrett & Axe CE VA Primary, we believe that a child’s education goes beyond the classroom. As part of our commitment to supporting our pupils and their families, we have signed up to F.A.C.E. because:
-
It gives families quick access to trusted support on issues such as behaviour, wellbeing, mental health, and safeguarding.
-
It enhances the support network for parents/carers, helping them to feel more confident in their role.
-
It aligns with our vision of creating a caring, safe, and supportive environment, where children are unique and families are partners in learning.
-
It complements our existing wellbeing programmes (e.g. PSHE / pastoral support) by offering additional external expertise.

How We Use F.A.C.E. at Our School

We share information about F.A.C.E. membership with parents every year so that everyone is aware of what’s available.

When pupils are going through challenging times (e.g. transitions, emotional difficulties), staff may signpost parents/carers to relevant F.A.C.E. resources.
-
Workshops/webinars are promoted via newsletters, our school website, and through parent evenings.
-
Feedback is encouraged: if there are particular areas parents would like support in, we try to request or organise sessions to match those needs.
