The Place2be
The Place2be is a national children's charity working in 200 schools across the UK, and in 10 primary schools in Ealing. The Place2be works with children on their own, and in small groups. For children receiving 1 to 1 support, they provide a safe space - the Place2be room - where children can express their feelings through talking, creative work and play.
All pupils in the school can find help with friendship and other worries by choosing to visit The Place2Talk at lunch-time, where short one-off sessions are open to individuals and to groups of up to 3 children.
The Place2be works with children, teachers and parents/carers too, providing therapeutic support to address social, emotional and behavioural problems.
The Place2be helps build children's confidence and self-esteem, enabling them to cope with difficult life events, establish friendships and focus in class. This in turn makes school a happier place to be for all the children
The School Project Manager for the Place2be at Viking Primary School is Angela Shepherd. Angela is in school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. You can contact her on 0208 836 3659, or through the school office
