School Home Support

As part of Paradigm Trust, Ipswich Academy provides the services of a dedicated Inclusion team.

The Inclusion team supports parents and carers in a wide range of activities, events and services to ensure that Ipswich Academy pupils do well at school, and that their parents/carers are fully supported in their important role. These may include:

  • Settling in and induction at school
  • Encouraging better attendance and punctuality
  • Getting access to support services
  • Benefits/housing/welfare needs
  • Parent/carer groups
  • Fundraising events
  • Parenting programmes
  • Courses and workshops.

You can also get support you if you have concerns regarding your child’s progress or if you have paperwork or other documents which you need to complete.
