Safeguarding

Support for your family

We will continue to work alongside families to help the young people we regularly support.

Support will start with a regular check-in at least once a week. If you feel this would be beneficial for your child, please contact office@ryecollege.co.uk.

Teaching colleagues will be looking at the work your child has completed and providing feedback, if appropriate.
