Wakefield Families Together are holding a Parent and Carer Consultation in relation to 9 new ‘Family Hubs’ that will work with families with children from pre-birth to 19 years (or 25 years with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). It is important that they consult with as many parents and carers as possible in order to find out what support and services are wanted and needed in each of the 9 locations across the Wakefield district.

The online consultation is open until Friday 28 January 2022. You can find the link here.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact them at wakefieldfamiliestogether@wakefield.gov.uk.

We've been exploring all different aspects of 'Growing' as part of Science Day today and we wanted to continue the fun at home too! Have fun growing some ice! All you need is water and a freezer and a little time, patience and curiosity. Please follow the links to see how to do it. Be a scientist and take it further... once you've done it, can you think of a question to explore? Please send any photos to mward@st-peters.wakefield.sch.uk and we can share them on the website. Good luck and have fun!
