Our Family Engagement Specialist works across other local primary schools and is committed to providing support to ensure all children in the local area get the best start in life.  We understand that family life can be difficult at times and our aim is to offer support to families within the community with children from primary through to secondary school in order to provide continuity with their outcomes.

Hague Bar Primary School want to ensure that parents and carers have access to support and advice that will help them in their parenting role so that their children can grow up to achieve positive outcomes. We and the Family Engagement Specialist aim to work with families in and open, honest, yet constructive way. 

Louise Coker - Family Engagement Specialist

Introducing Louise Coker and the Take Part Family Support Service

Louise Coker, born and bred in New Mills, is delighted to be working in partnership with Hague Bar Primary School as part of Take Part Wellbeing CIC’s Family Support Service. With a strong background in education leadership and a passion for family support, Louise will be an integral part of the school community, providing personalised and compassionate support to families.

As a former pupil of Hague Bar Primary School, many moons ago, Louise feels a special connection to the school and its community. Returning in this new role feels like a full-circle moment, allowing her to give back to a place that played an important role in her own early years.

As a parent of a 14-year-old, Louise has experienced the current challenges of parenting firsthand. This personal insight, combined with her professional expertise, allows her to connect with families on a deeper level and provide practical, relatable, and effective support. Louise understands the pressures faced by parents today and is committed to helping families navigate these challenges with confidence and resilience.

This partnership between Hague Bar Primary School and Take Part Wellbeing CIC is designed to create a safe and supportive environment for families, addressing challenges and strengthening well-being. Louise’s deep ties to the local community and her relationship-based approach mean she is well-placed to understand and support the unique needs of the school’s families.

The Family Support Service offers a wide range of support, including:

• One-on-One Family Support: Helping families with challenges such as mental health, parenting strategies, and school-related issues.

• Parenting Education: Providing workshops and tailored guidance to equip parents with the skills they need.

• Community Engagement: Connecting families to local resources, events, and support networks.

• School Collaboration: Working closely with teachers, the headteacher, and school staff to ensure families receive the right support at the right time.

Through this partnership, Louise will be working directly with families from Hague Bar Primary School, ensuring that every family feels valued and heard. Whether it’s a listening ear, practical guidance, or connecting families with additional resources, Louise is here to support you.

This collaboration reflects a shared commitment between Hague Bar Primary School and Take Part Wellbeing CIC to ensure that every child and their family can thrive, both at school and in the wider community. By embedding this service into the school, the goal is to create a supportive, resilient, and inclusive environment where families feel empowered to overcome challenges and flourish.

Louise will be available to meet with families directly and will also be working closely with school staff to identify needs, develop support plans, and ensure that no family feels left behind. This is a partnership built on trust, understanding, and a commitment to strengthening the school community.

We are excited about the opportunities this partnership brings to Hague Bar Primary School, and we encourage families to reach out to Louise through the school if they would like to learn more about the support available. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected school community.
