The Harpenden Plus Partnership covers the area of Harpenden, Kimpton, Redbourn and Wheathampstead.

We are here to offer a free and confidential services to parents/carers of families of children who attend our partnership schools.  We will support you and your families with any concerns you may be facing with your child at home or school, however large or small the problem.  We can offer anything from one conversation to a longer period of support.  We also run various courses and workshops on a variety of topics that give you ideas to try at home.
