Read MoreTop Tips for Supporting Children to Develop Emotional Literacy
Published 29/01/25As we grow up, we’re inevitably exposed to new and challenging feelings – whether it’s sadness, fear or rage. These emotions can be tough to handle when we’re still learning about the world – and even once we’ve passed into adulthood – which is why emotional literacy is a vital life skill.
Of course, when emotions are running high, it can be tricky to help young people process these feelings in a healthy way, but it’s incredibly important that we do so as parents and educators.

Published 27/01/25Back in the Autumn term, excitement buzzed as we launched The Big Win Competition, an initiative designed to foster teamwork and community spirit while raising funds for a worthy cause. Each of our Houses - Swift, Skylark, Kestrel, and Kingfisher took on the challenge, with colour-coded buckets placed in reception, students asked staff, family and friends to donate any spare coins they could.
The atmosphere was charged with friendly competition as the Houses rallied their supporters. Everyone was encouraged to contribute whatever they could spare, reflecting the spirit of generosity and solidarity within our school community. The excitement built as the 2 weeks went by, and by the end of the competition, it was clear that one House had truly risen to the occasion.
In total an impressive £300 was raised through the collective houses but Swift House emerged victorious. As the winning House, their next task was to choose a charity to support, and the decision was unanimous—Julia’s House, a charity known for providing invaluable care and support to children with life-limiting conditions and their families
