School Attendance and Pupil Welfare
Supporting service children in education
Pembrokeshire County Council is a proud signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant (opens in a new tab) and is committed to supporting the unique needs of service children and their families. The Education Welfare Service works closely with SSCE Cymru - Supporting Service Children in Education in Wales (opens in a new tab), to provide tailored support to help service children achieve their full potential, despite the challenges of frequent relocations, parental deployments, or transitions between schools.
Our collaborative approach ensures that service children receive continuity in their education, emotional support, and access to resources that promote their wellbeing and academic success. We work alongside schools, families, and SSCE Cymru to build strong networks that foster stability and resilience for service children throughout their educational journey.
Service Pupil Promise Project
The Education Welfare Service is actively developing a Service Pupil Promise to enhance support for service children and their families. This initiative aims to ensure that service children receive tailored educational support, smooth transitions, and opportunities to thrive despite the challenges of military life. By working closely with schools, families, and partner agencies, the project will strengthen our commitment to the covenant and support us to meet the unique needs of service pupils across Pembrokeshire.
If you are a service family and would like support or advice, please contact the Education Welfare Service for guidance and assistance.
