Anti Bullying Week & Odd Sock Monday
Next week, we will be joining schools across the country in marking the launch of Anti-Bullying Week. As part of our PSHE curriculum, pupils will be taking part in activities that celebrate kindness, respect, and the importance of valuing one another’s differences.
To launch the week, we invite all pupils and staff to wear odd socks on Monday 16th November. Wearing odd socks is a simple and fun way to show that we are all unique and celebrating our differences. There is no cost involved and no special preparation required, just a pair of odd socks.
We would like to invite all pupils and staff to join in a special event on Friday, 13th November! We encourage everyone to dress up in spots, stripes, or multiple colours to support Children in Need.
Remember, dressing up is completely optional, and we totally understand if some pupils wish to attend in their school uniform instead.
If you would like to contribute, please head to https://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey to make a donation. We kindly ask that you do not send cash in, as we are a cashless school and donations can be done through the Children In Need website.
School will be closed for the Half Term holidays –
Monday 26th October – Friday 6th November 26.
Pupils are back on Monday 9th November.
Please note that the school office will be closed for the half term break too.
During this period, email inboxes will not be monitored so any enquiries received will be dealt with when the school reopens on the 9th November.
If you have an urgent safeguarding concern regarding a child during this period, please contact:

To Our Felixstowe and Bramford Lane Pupils –
Our Sixth Form Class are excited to invite pupils in our Felixstowe Campus and Bramford Lane Campus to participate in “Wear It Pink” day on Wednesday 21st October, as part of their My World and Community Topics!

Transition Week – Wednesday 15th – Friday 17th July
This week is the start of our transitions week where there might be change some pupils experience as they move from one class, year group, or school environment to another. These changes might include:
Moving to a new classroom
Having a new teacher
Joining a different peer group
Adjusting to new routines
Becoming familiar with new surroundings
Staff will be supporting pupils throughout with all of these to help pupils build their confidence and feel safe.
