Welcome to our family support page of the website.

Here at Underwood West Academy we have our own Family Support Worker, Miss Haynes who's role in school is to provide support, advice and information to families within our school community.

At school we work closely with Cheshire East Family Service and support in co-facilitating the Webster Stratton Parenting Course here at school as we recognise that this is more convienient for our families making it easier for them to attend.
