A NEW series of parent and community workshops to promote wellbeing is being launched by a Kingsteignton school.

Teign School has set up a programme of workshops designed to provide ‘learning for all’.

It follows the launch last year of The Nest, a support hub created to help students experiencing emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA).

Teign School is now extending its focus to the wider community.

The success of The Nest has highlighted the importance of open communication and partnership between families, schools, and local services.

The new series of workshops responds to parent and carer feedback and is open to everyone in the local community.

Sessions are designed to help families strengthen wellbeing, support learning, and build confidence.

Each workshop will run from 5pm to 6.30pm.

The first session on January 13 will explore how schools and local organisations are working together to offer inspiring opportunities, helping students aim high and plan for the future.

Other sessions will look at how families and young people manage anxieties; how the teenage brain develops and how families can support young people navigate strong emotions and changing behaviour and strategies to support effective home learning

Alongside the new workshop series, Teign School continues to offer a range of community support opportunities.

Weekly SEND drop-in clinics take place every Thursday from 3.30 pm to 4.30 pm, providing advice and guidance for families seeking support with special educational needs.

In addition, fortnightly Citizens Advice drop-in clinics will soon be available, offering confidential support and information to parents and carers of Teign students and the wider Kingsteignton community.

Lucie Wagner, Head of School at Teign School, said: ‘Following the success of The Nest, we wanted to extend that support to every young person and family in our community.

‘These workshops focus on the skills and understanding that help students to flourish — whether that’s developing confidence, managing emotions, or finding joy in learning. It’s about empowering our whole community to grow together.’
