At Radford Academy, we are committed to supporting children and families within our community. We understand that families can face a range of challenges, and we want parents and carers to know that seeking support is never a burden. Our aim is to work alongside families to help ensure that every child has the best possible opportunity to thrive.
We have a dedicated Family Support Officer, Jeannette Topping, who provides advice, guidance and ongoing support for families. Early support can make a significant difference, helping to prevent difficulties from escalating while strengthening relationships, building resilience and improving emotional wellbeing.
Early Family Help
Early Family Help focuses on identifying and addressing emerging needs before they become more serious concerns. By working together with families, we can provide practical support, build on existing strengths and help create stable, positive environments where children feel safe, secure and ready to learn.
Around the Family Support
Where needed, families can access additional support through an Around the Family approach, bringing together the right services and professionals to offer coordinated help. This ensures that families receive timely support tailored to their individual circumstances.
Contact Us
If you would like advice, support, or simply a confidential conversation about any challenges your family may be facing, please contact Jeannette Topping through the school office or by email at jeannette.topping@radfordacademy.co.uk. We are here to help and will do our best to support you and your family.

Working Together with Families
Strong partnerships between home, school and the wider community are at the heart of everything we do at Radford Academy. We regularly offer opportunities for parents and carers to visit school, experience learning alongside their child and gain a greater understanding of how different areas of the curriculum are taught. These sessions provide practical strategies and resources to help support learning at home. We also welcome families to join us for our coffee mornings and community events, which provide valuable opportunities to connect with staff, share experiences and strengthen relationships within our school community. We believe that by working together, we can provide the very best support for every child’s learning, wellbeing and development.
Please see below for an overview of parent workshops, coffee mornings and other family engagement events taking place throughout this academic year (coming soon).
