Your presence in both Footsteps and the main school provides a vital link, offering continuity and a familiar, friendly face for our pupils. This seamless transition supports their emotional well-being and enhances their overall school experience. You will gain a deeper understanding of each child's individual needs and personalities, enabling you to provide even more effective and tailored support throughout the school day.
