Cost of Living Crisis
School Support
For many of us, the cost of living is becoming increasingly challenging. Increases in the cost of food, fuel, rent or mortgages, and bills can be overwhelming and impact on family life day to day. We can offer you support - a listening ear, sign posting to a range of services as well as practical advice and help.
Contact the school office to talk to Mrs Suzanne Biggs our Office Manager or email the office directly, in confidence, admin@bournehall.herts.sch.uk and we will get in touch with you.
We are here to support and help - in a safe, warm and non-judgmental space.
