One of the things about our school which makes it such an incredible place is the willingness of our staff to share their knowledge with other professionals and showcase their best practice. We welcomed a number of teaching assistants from another school this week accompanied by our link governor for teaching and learning. Their effusive feedback demonstrates their positive experience:
Thank you so much for accommodating us today. We’ve had such a warm welcome from both staff and students. The children are so happy to be here and thrive as a result. We saw some wonderfully enthusiastic and effective teaching. Thank you!
Mental Health Support, Kooth
In this week's assemblies we were privileged to have a guest speaker who explained the free mental health support that Kooth can offer.
Perfetta Pizza!
