Wellbeing Charter Mark

Dear Parents/Carers,

Your child’s school is working on a project with us at Telford & Wrekin Educational Psychology Service, promoting emotional wellbeing through the Sandwell Charter Mark process. The Sandwell Wellbeing Charter Mark was originally developed in Sandwell in 2015 and explores social, emotional, and mental health through a whole-school approach which aims to recognise a school’s commitment towards improving the social, emotional, and mental health of its staff and families.

Collecting the authentic voice of the whole school community is important to this project and we invite you to share your views via an anonymous online survey. Please use the below link to access the survey, which should take around 15-20 minutes to complete.

Once we have collected the views of pupils, parents/carers and staff, they will be analysed, written into a report and fed back to the school where we will work collaboratively to address any areas for development. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

 

Kind Regards,

Lara Amos-Earle

Pet Day!

What a wonderful time the children have had today. There have been lots of waggy tails and wet noses. It’s been a purrrfect day all round!

A huge thank you those parents who were able to bring in pets to share. Sorry we could get everyone to be able to do so but that just wouldn’t have been possible. Hopefully, all children have had the chance to talk about their pet and learn about how we care for our furry friends (feathered and scaly too). Please look at you child’s year group page on the website to see some wonderful pictures!

Reverend Merry led worship this morning with the theme of pets.

A huge thank you to Jelly Exotic Pets, who have been in school today. All children have had the chance to visit their workshop and learn about caring for exotic pets. If you wish to learn more about them, here is the link to their site.
