Cost of the School Day – Poverty Proofing Fernielea

We thought it would be useful to share with you the actions taken by the school to ensure that the cost of the school day for our families is minimal and no costs are transferred to parents and families.

We are also sharing the planned use of Pupil Equity Funding ((PEF) to support pupils who are affected by poverty to achieve their full potential.

COVID 19 Support – Psychological Resilience Hub Support

The Psychological Resilience Hub is for anyone who is struggling with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, affecting their psychological wellbeing. The service is for anyone in Grampian or Orkney. 

The Hub is there to provide a short course of psychological first aid (between 1-3 sessions) to help adults, young people and their families manage feelings that have become difficult during COVID 19. This may include providing signposting to useful information and advice regarding where to access longer-term support if needed.

Callers do not need to have had COVID themselves as the impact of the pandemic has impacted on all of us in lots of different ways.

Callers may have had difficulties that were previously manageable or may have never had concerns about their mental well-being but, with the pressures of COVID, are now experiencing difficulties coping.

Please note: The Psychological Resilience Hub is NOT an emergency service. If you or someone you care about is at significant risk of harm to themselves or others, then please contact NHS 24 by calling 111 or contact your GP surgery.

Please also note:

  • The PRH will try and contact callers quickly (within 7 days if you are in significant distress and within 3 weeks otherwise).  
  • Callers can help by providing as many options as possible for when the PRH reaches them.
  • When the PRH calls, the number will not show up on the phone, it will come up as ‘withheld’.
