REWARDS AFTERNOON On Wednesday 28th March we will be holding a celebration afternoon for those of our learners who have been rewarded been consistently and have earned 50+ stamps in their planners for positive contributions to lessons. We believe that developing skills such as resilience, independence, collaboration and self-awareness, creativity and problem solving are as key to achieving success and happiness in life as academic knowledge. Every time our pupils demonstrate these approaches to learning, they are securing key 'Foundations of Learning' and we are looking forward to celebrating with those youngsters who have really impressed us this year. Mr Bloxsom will be making popcorn and serving ice cream and pupils will choose from a choice of three films from the Dystopian Genre, to tie in with our World Book day theme. Photos to follow in our next Newsletter!
