July 2020

1st July 2020 – Today we have posted the 2nd in our series of parent support videos ‘The Psychology of Recovery, Part 2’.

After many discussions with parents, over the last few months, we have begun to understand some of the difficulties parents are facing with their children.
Some of the background research we have carried out, to inform our Better Bear project, has been helpful to staff in gaining an understanding of children’s mental health and behaviour and why children respond the way they do. We though parents might find this information useful and so have tried to collate it into a presentation. However the information was vast and the topic complex, so we have made it a 2 part presentation.

Part 1 was posted Monday 29th June

4th July 2020- England opens up for business. Pubs, restaurants, parks, and hair salons open for the first time in months.

July is the month of transition, but in these new times we have really had to think carefully about how this happens. Teachers have had to find a new way of communicating, not only with each other as children move through school, but with feeder schools for children coming in and out of our school, as well as with new parents and children. We have used our website, Facebook, letters, Zooms, phone calls and face to face meetings through the fence to ensure everyone transitions well, it has not been easy!
