To fulfil our vision or ‘Nurturing all to flourish and aspire’ we do much more than teaching children the requirements of the National Curriculum.  We help families at the very first sign of worry or difficulty and use our wide network of professionals to obtain specialist advice and support.  This ranges from parenting courses and healthy child weight management to debt and housing support. 

We work closely with our locality coordinator to keep up to date with what support is available and maintain positive relationships with local professionals such as school nurses, police and fire services and safeguarding teams.

Support for Children and Families | Northampton Children's Trust

What is Family Help?

Family Help (previously known as Early Help) provides support for children, young people and families as soon as a need is identified. The aim is to offer the right support at the right time, helping to promote wellbeing, prevent difficulties from escalating and build family resilience.

Support is available from before a child is born, throughout their early years and school life, and into young adulthood. For young people with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), support may continue up to the age of 25.

At Monksmoor Park, we work closely with families and other agencies to ensure that children and young people receive the guidance and support they need to thrive and achieve their full potential.
