After celebrating nearly 100% attendance across all students last week, we’ve had a fantastic start to this week as well.
This marks our first full week back since before the Easter break, and we’ve been incredibly proud of how focused and engaged our pupils have been in their sessions. Learning has extended well beyond the classroom too - with activities taking place in cafés, parks, and libraries, as well as outdoors in the sunshine.
The good weather has also brought about more animal-related activities, which have offered not only a calming presence for many pupils but also rich learning opportunities. (Pictured below are some of the animals the students have encountered this week.)
With the sunny days continuing, we are prioritising sun safety for all pupils. If you’re a parent or carer, please ensure your child brings suncream and a sunhat to school. We will continue to keep children hydrated, provide access to shade, and ensure they stay safe while enjoying the outdoors with us.
We do hope you enjoy the bank holiday weekend. There will be no session on Monday, but we look forward to seeing everybody on Tuesday.

"The Mentor’s relationship with J and me has helped hugely. Having another adult to help has made me feel less alone in my care for J. Bridget's wealth of knowledge has been vital to us accessing services, benefits and professionals within BCP.
Also, the resources provided have been superb. I am really grateful for the care, support and kindness Bridget has provided us. Without her, we would be in a really bad place."

"M has built a great relationship with his mentors especially Jack out of all his mentors and tutors from another AP. Jack has helped M build a trusted relationship and understanding manner.
M has had a positive outcome and enjoys taking part which he didn’t previously and anxiety/communicating, which has really come on since working with Jack. Communication with myself is excellent. Jack has a very understanding kind and great approach, who is a trusted adult. My son feels comfortable with and someone who understands and reassures."

The RISE Team provided well prepared, high quality and engaging PACE training to staff who work with children aged 3-11. Staff commented on how useful the real life examples were and how these supported them to apply this training in our school environment. The RISE Team worked with leaders before delivering the training which meant we could adapt it to the needs of our school. I have seen many of the strategies being used in school which has lead to the prevention of escalations. Overall, highly effective training!
