#nationalwritingday Our recent research in to Children and young people’s writing in 2024 found that: Fewer than 3 in 10 (28.7%) children and young people aged 8 to 18 say they enjoy writing in their free time - the lowest levels we’ve recorded. Only 1 in 9 (11.1%) children and young people told us that they wrote something daily in their free time, halving from last year. Of those who write in their free time once a month, 3 in 5 (59.1%) say they write to be creative, while half write to express their ideas and imagination (52.8%) or their thoughts and feelings (47.7%). Interestingly, while children’s enjoyment of writing at home is in decline, the opposite is true for their enjoyment of writing at school. More than half (53.6%) of children and young people enjoy the writing they do at school, a 22% uplift in the past year.

Yesterday we hosted our second ‘have you met?’ event. This time a group of our wonderful year 8 students created displays about themselves, inviting their teachers to come and learn a bit more about them. Thank you to all the parents and pets for getting involved too! #aspire

We had a genuine false alarm today and had to do a fire drill. Students and staff were, as always, brilliant but apologies if they are a little late leaving site

Our second mental health workshop for parents and carers takes place this Thursday (13th June) at 6pm. It will be run by our NHS Education Mental Health Practitioner Francesca Hammond. While Francesca will be covering a range of topics, she will be focusing in particular on sleep and social media. The workshop will take place onsite in room M8 (look out for signs when you arrive). We would love to see as many of you there as possible!

As the weather gets warmer, all students are encouraged to have a water bottle in school. However we ask them to be sensible and organised, as to when it is filled, to avoid missing precious learning time. The water fountains only operate before school, at break, at lunch and afterschool. Please use these times to refill.
