As a proud part of the Commonwealth we are thrilled to celebrate the upcoming Commonwealth Week beginning on 7^th March. The week looks to celebrate the symbolic relationships between all Commonwealth realms and our shared sovereignty. To further celebrate this week pupils will get the chance throughout Geography lessons to complete mini challenges, take part in quizzes and complete research on our Commonwealth partners.

We look forward to spending time exploring our important international community. Many thanks in advance for all of your efforts during the week.

We are excited to share our first look poster for the upcoming Wellbeing week. Across the week we have lots of activities including Mindful Colouring, Brew Monday and lots of pop-up events. Don't forget to join us across the week as we share our top tips each day.

As part of our next drive to support Coventry and Warwickshire Children’s Hospital, we would very much like to share our Easter Egg initiative with you!

Check it out and give whatever you can to help bring smiles on the little faces of poorly children this Easter!

Today in school we were delighted to host our “Pink to Think” Pop-Up Stand, a wellbeing initiative designed to promote positive mental health, self-esteem and healthy body image among our pupils.

The stand created a welcoming space where pupils could stop, talk, reflect and access supportive resources. It proved extremely popular, with many pupils engaging in thoughtful and mature discussions.

Positive Affirmations
Pupils were invited to read, select and reflect on positive affirmation statements to help build confidence, resilience and self-belief.

Pink to Think Booklet
Each booklet includes information and activities focused on:

• Positive mental health

• Building self-esteem

• Developing a positive body image

• Mental health top tips

• A personal self-care plan

• Reflection activities

These resources are designed to encourage pupils to think about how they care for their wellbeing and where they can seek support when needed.

International Women’s Day Focus
As part of our wider discussions, we also highlighted International Women’s Day. Pupils explored inspirational quotes from well-known celebrities as well as empowering messages from our own school staff, reinforcing positive role models and celebrating strength, individuality and achievement.

Important Conversations

Many pupils chose to discuss, body image and self-confidence, the impact of social media on girls, peer pressure and comparison and where to go for support. We were particularly encouraged by how open and reflective pupils were. They were also provided with clear signposting to support available both in school (pastoral team, trusted adults, wellbeing support) and outside school should they ever need additional help.

If you have any questions or would like further information about the resources shared, please do not hesitate to contact us.
