We'd like to start by saying congratulations to all our children who have taken part in different events this term. In school and within the Trust, there have been many performances and opportunities for our children to share their passions and build their confidence.
WPT is 10 Showcase
A special shout out must go to the children who took part in the WPT is 10 Showcase, where children performed on stage and some individual showcases. What an amazing achievement! 👏
We are also super proud of our Christmas performances in school, the inclusion and enjoyment of all our children has been truly magical to see and to watch each child shine.
PANATHLON BOWLING EVENT
Each year we take part in a fantastic bowling event where a select group of children take part and compete with other schools in Rotherham in a bowling tournament. As always the Ashwood childrne did us proud and represented the school beautifully. Well done team!

Thank you to all parents who have attended the SEN reviews this Autumn Term.

EXTERNAL REVIEW
EXTERNAL REVIEW
This November the whole school had an indepth external review looking at all aspects of school life, Phonics, Maths, Writing, Behavious etc. SEND was also reviewed throughly. We are very happy to announce the fantastic feedback we recieved.
Here are a few of the points:
The school does everything it possibly can to make sure all pupils with SEND benefit from all that is offered in school
Leaders across the school are highly ambitious for SEND pupils
There is great pastoral care for these pupils and ambition that SEND should achieve as well as they possibly canand at least in-line with their peers
The SENCo is passionate about helping pupils to get the best out of school and develop independence.

The Worry Tree App- Worry Tree helps you to take control of your worries, transform your thoughts and feel better using CBT techniques and sensory practices.
Chill Panda - Something new I have found to support anxiety, worries, and calming strategies. May be a good one to support some of the children to develop strategies. Available on GooglePlay and AppStore.
Worry Monsters - these are recommended by psychologists and teachers to act as a 'waste bin' for fears, troubles and woes that children don't always talk about
