Coffee Mornings

Coffee Mornings are a chance to meet other parents and carers over a cup of coffee (or tea) and to interact with myself or other key members of the school team. It’s a chance to talk, to learn, to laugh and to make connections and sometimes friendships.

Often when your child has been excluded from their mainstream school, you have also felt excluded too. Coffee Mornings are a chance to meet people who also have children with SEND and may have experienced similar journeys. Sometimes Coffee Mornings have themes. Sometimes we will have visitors from different schools, the Local Authority, SIAS and others we may wish to invite. We value your ideas when planning for Coffee Mornings. Your voice is important.  

Coffee Mornings take place on the last Friday of every month. This year's Coffee Morning Programme is: 

25.09.26 Welcome New Families led by Miss Linda

Parents/carers feel welcomed, understand the school's ethos and routines, know key staff and feel confident about accessing support and communication channels.

Parents/carers understand emotional regulation, learn practical co-regulation strategies and feel more confident supporting their child's emotional wellbeing.

NOTE: Coffee Mornings are only one small part of our Parenting Programme here at Beormund. If you are not yet ready to meet up with new people and take part in group activities, then why not ask for a ‘walk and talk’. Walk and talk are a 1:1 option for anyone who needs a listening ear, a critical friend or just a bit of company. Coffees are available too.
