We have had a productive few weeks at the Turnaround Centre, filled with valuable experiences. Our first Student Council meeting went well, with children taking part in team-building activities and discussing their ideas about rewards and consequences for our new behaviour policy.

Both primary and secondary students also joined in on Languages Afternoons, where they learned some French and explored aspects of French culture. The children enjoyed tasting traditional French food, and we are pleased to inform you that we are planning to hold more of these events in the future.

Our weekly assemblies have begun, bringing together primary and secondary students to recognise their achievements. It is wonderful to see everyone united in celebrating the hard work of our children.

Additionally, our recent learning walks revealed some excellent English work being done by the children, showcasing their creativity and effort in learning.

Thank you for your continued support. Let us work together to create a positive learning environment for all our pupils.

What a fantastic start to the term! We warmly welcomed all our new primary and secondary learners and are excited to share some wonderful developments within our school community.

We have introduced our new outdoor classroom, featuring a wooden bus, an sheltered outdoor learning area, a mud kitchen, and a seating area to enhance our children’s learning experiences. As well as building the outdoor classroom for us, PLP Construction has also generously donated and fitted sound absorption boards in our school hall, creating a better environment for PE lessons and lunchtime.

Recently, we were pleased to host a visit from our local councillor, Rachel Massey, who shared her support for our school aims. She has also given us ideas for future initiatives that we can become involved with and also offered to attend one of our student council meetings. 

Thank you to all parents who attended our welcome meeting; it was great to connect with you all and share our plans.

We have observed impressive work in our secondary English classes, along with engaging activities in primary phonics lessons. In the coming weeks, we anticipate our annual Languages Day and will be offering opportunities for students to join the Student Council. We are also looking forward to launching our nurture kitchen and establishing a mentoring scheme that pairs secondary and primary students as reading buddies.

Thank you for your continued support as we embark on what promises to be an exciting term ahead.
