Worry Box Email
Mrs Weller has set up an email address for the children to use in case they have any worries where they can write anything down that is bothering them. She will then organise for herself or one of the nurture team to phone them at a convenient time that we will prearrange with you. If your child is too young to write the email independently please feel free to write it on their behalf or send a photo of their written worry.
The email address is: worrybox@greenfields.herts.sch.uk
