Celebration Autumn Term

Nuture and Support
We are delighted to be able to offer provision in school
that supports pupils to succeed in all aspects of their
learning from boosters in phonics and mathematics,
PiXL learning therapies to supporting children's
emotional learning and success through Thrive (The
Aviary) and our new Grow provision (Swan class),
starting in January. We are pleased to now have 2 fully
trained Thrive practitioners with a further 3 colleagues
now training. The Thrive Approach combines
neuroscience and child development to provide a
powerful way of working with children and young people
that supports optimal social and emotional
development. In addition, the Thrive approach works a
targeted way with children and young people who may
have struggled with difficult life events to help them reengage
with life and learning.
We are also part of the Sandwell project
which supports staff and pupil mental wellbeing
and over the next few years we will be
working towards achieving their charter mark
for excellence.
We are pleased to welcome Louise Orton, a family
support practitioner who is based in school on
Tuesdays and Thursdays. Louise is available to
speak to families on a 1:1 basis and offers
courses in parenting and well being for pupils. If
you would like to know more please speak to
Louise via the school office or talk to your child's
class teacher.
Pupils in Year 2 are offered sessions of Forest School run by Mrs
Clasper. These sessions promote independence, resilience and seek to
build children's confidence and connection with their natural
environment. This is done through activities such as wood craft, art,
play, team building and challenges. We are always looking for parent
helpers even if you don't have a child in Year 2. Please speak to Mrs
Clasper if you would like to get involved.
