Support for children who may feel anxious

Sometimes a child might struggle significantly in attending school due to heightened levels of emotions such as anxiety. This can result in significant absence from school and impacts the child’s learning, relationships and well-being.

The guides below, written by Oxfordshire Educational Psychology Service, may help in understanding and addressing these feelings.

If your child is beginning to experience anxiety about any issue at all, please do speak to a member of staff so that we can seek to provide support and plan the next best steps.
