Spring term 2025 newsletters

Our Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural focus for the week...

Children's Mental Health Week

This week's assembly shone a spotlight on the vital topic of mental wellbeing, marking our participation in Children's Mental Health Week 2025. We explored the theme of theme Know Yourself, Grow Yourself in partnership with Here4You, supported by The Walt Disney Company and the Inside Out 2 characters.

Drawing inspiration from resources provided by Place2Be, we talked about how sharing our feelings and listening to others can make a real difference. The children learned some simple but effective strategies for staying mentally healthy, including the importance of talking about their worries, being kind to themselves and others, and finding healthy ways to express their emotions. We encouraged everyone to continue these conversations at home and to remember that we're a supportive school community, here to help.

World Book Day Fancy Dress Swap

Public libraries are hosting their highly successful Fancy Dress Swaps again this year from 1st February in preparation for World Book Day. Using the scheme could not be easier: donate any unwanted costumes to the library or see what outfits they have and take them for no charge, it’s that simple.

Participating libraries are Barnton, Frodsham, Hope Farm, Lache, Little Sutton, Neston, Northwich, Sandiway, Weaverham, Wharton and Winsford.

And why not use the opportunity to borrow a book or join the library while you’re there? Joining a child is free and easy and does not require ID. There are no late charges for Under 13s.
