CLAESS

CLAESS is short for Children Looked After Education Support Service.

CLAESS Team members include:

CLAESS Team Manager - Fiona Smith
Education welfare Officer (EWO) – Fran Young
Educational Psychologist – Kofi Agyei
Educational Support Co-ordinators - Marjorie Graham (reception to year 5), Donna Henry (years 6,7 and 8), Viv Davies (years 9 and 10) and Paul McKeever (year 11)

The CLAESS is here to offer any extra help that you might need to achieve your goals, such as tuition, Saturday School or a mentor.

Someone from CLAESS will often be at your PEP to find out how you’re getting on and to ask you what extra help you think you might need. CLAESS also make sure you have the use of a computer in your home.

Twice a year CLAESS hold awards events (one for children in primary school and one for secondary school and beyond). We also arrange theatre visits and trips out from time to time. 

If you would like to ask for something and your PEP isn’t due for a while – ask your social worker to contact CLAESS.
