• Virtual Worry Box

  Mon 25 Jan 2021

  Children are used to having a worry box in class or an adult on hand to talk to while in school. 

  Things are a little bit different at the moment with many children at home, they may have worries or concerns and not know who to share them with. 

   

  From today children can share their worries with an adult in school by sending an email to our virtual worry box to let us know who they would like to talk to.

  We cannot promise to keep information secret but we can promise to always work to ensure the right support is available - please see the Children's Safeguarding Policy.

   

  Children can talk to us about worries they might have including:

  • things that have happened to them or someone else
  • not knowing where to go when feeling scared
  • missing school 
  • what will happen in the future
  • coping with mental health.

  Children can also contact Childline from 7:30am-3:30am every day, either online, by calling 0800 1111 or by sending a message through their website.

• Yoga Jo LIVE

  Mon 25 Jan 2021
  Last week we saw our wonderful Yoga teacher, Yoga Jo, beamed into the homes of our Year 5 and 6 children with the class teachers and support staff. It was superb to such a positive level of engagement and provide the tools for our children to think about positive mental health and their wellbeing at this challenging time. Yoga Jo is preparing resources to go to our other children across the school too! Thanks Yoga Jo.
