Easily visible on the school gate (red lipstick, colourful clothes, gold sequinned trainers), one parent told us how she feels energised just seeing her: ‘She’s such a positive, jolly person.’ Mrs Page-Roberts would like parents, as well as the girls, to feel connected: ‘We stand side by side with your child at the centre; we want you to share what we do.’ To judge from the enthusiastic interactions we saw on the day of our visit, she takes a genuine interest in the girls...
