Hello, my name is Kate Forster and I am the Family Liaison Officer (FLO) for Minster-in-Sheppey Primary School.  My role is to increase communication between the school and families and to be a point of contact and support for Parents and children if they have any worries, concerns, issues or feedback they wish to raise and discuss. I aim to help support families to ensure that the children learn well and flourish.

I work with any child and family who may need short or long term support whether that is due to issues with attendance, punctuality, behavioural issues, home situations, or illness. The aim of the support is always to encourage and develop engagement and communication between the school and families. Through this engagement the aim is for the children to feel better supported and more able to access all the learning opportunities available to them at Minster In Sheppey Primary School. I also work with families to help and guide them through processes of working with external organisations, such as Early Help, School Health, Kent Young Carers and others agencies.

I am seen most mornings around the school grounds welcoming children into school and again at the end of the day.

I am always willing to listen to any questions, worries, concerns or queries that you may have. My door is always open. My office is located opposite the main entrance, just before the reception counter.

To get in touch you may either telephone on 01795 872138 and select option 2 or e-mail me at kforster@tiltrust.org  

Some of you may already know me from working at a previous setting on the Isle of Sheppey, but I look forward to working with you all.
