About Me
Hi my name is Tracy Cook, I have been working at the Cathedral School for the last 11 years. I have a strong connection with the Cathedral as it was my parish and I also attended the Cathedral School as a student myself. I am married with 4 daughters which means I have had a lot of experience dealing with children. My youngest daughter has Autism so I have some knowledge about things that can make life a bit difficult sometimes, I am happy to share advice with you.
I have worked in other schools over the years as an SEN teaching assistant and I am ELSA trained (Emotional Literacy Support Advisor). I am also half way through a counseling degree so am always learning new ways to work with and help your children and also to work with you as a parent if needed, over a cup of tea for advice and a listening ear.
I also run a weekly young carer's group and bereavement group which also covers working with children whose parents may have separated and need extra support.
School Uniform
We have second-hand uniforms available in school looking for a new home!
I'm in school on all day on Monday and Wednesday .
Please feel free to call/email me and I will bag up some bits for your child and arrange a collection.

There are also Second-hand School Uniform stores around Plymouth with a Pop-Up shop in Plymouth City Centre throughout the school summer holidays.
Paperwork
I am also on to hand to help and support you with paper work such as DLA forms etc.
I also have lots of contacts I can refer you too if I can't help. Please feel free to make an appointment with the school office or email me with any question or concerns or even just advice.
Food Bank
As the cost of shopping rises I know many families will be struggling, therefore I have access to food bank vouchers and have food on site I can give out when needed. So please do not go with out, I am here to help and can be as confidential as needed.
Help and Support
Any other help needed please just ask.
