Thoughts, comments, ideas and pause for thought from members of our school and extended community.
Autumn is one of my daughter's favourite seasons. She loves the oncoming cold, the feeling of heading into 'hibernation', of being able to wrap up in her favourite clothes and curl up with a good book. Certainly, some of the chefs I watch on tv love it too; the bringing in of the harvest and the preparation of jams, pickles and other goodies.
Saturday 10 October is World Mental Health Day.
As a school, we will be focusing our attention on the UK's Children's Mental Health Week, 1-7 February 2021, but I'd also like to acknowledge this day, where the theme is mental health for all.
This week, and into next, the school has a focus on anti-bullying. Dr Essex is approaching this with gusto, strongly supported by all the staff. I thought I would like to share with you some parts of what the boys have learnt about. Bullying has been identified as one of the top three threats to society in the coming years.
