We spoke to children across all ages and were told about how each child is supported to understand what works best for them to help them learn in class. This included fidget toys and bands and time out of the classroom to do something physical to help them refocus; but also some more unusual actions including a year 3 child who found that doing maths problems helped him regulate and a very talented year 6 artist who discovered that sketching helped him be calm as well as uncovering an amazing skill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bfed6a29f27373428e3775/e2532da0-1153-4968-81ee-a2c6fae50a6d/Trauma+Practice_Lorraine+Prince+reading.jpg News - Trauma Informed Practice - Church of England Foundation for Educational Leadership visit - We then moved on to Huxley CE Primary school which offers flexi-schooling. This innovative approach has parents bringing their children from great distances to access the opportunity to have their children in school 3 days a week whilst home-schooling on the other days. This enables their children to access the full curriculum and gives them the opportunity to enhance this through activities and visits from home. A number of parents joined us to talk with passion about the provision and the difference it made to both them and their children. A common message given was that their children would not be in school if they had not discovered flexi-schooling and, in particular, Huxley. https://chesterdbe.co.uk/news/saughall-allsaints-charity-fundraiser monthly 0.5 2024-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bfed6a29f27373428e3775/61793d1b-f120-4796-8003-28d7e2902c63/NewsFromSchools_banner.jpg News - Saughall All Saints: Smart idea for Lent to raise cash for charity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bfed6a29f27373428e3775/5d3a6a26-7f4f-40f9-9904-64d7e0c740cb/Smartie_fundraise_202403.jpg News - Saughall All Saints: Smart idea for Lent to raise cash for charity - The children emptied a Smarties tube (or something similar) and, during Lent, fill the tube with any spare change they have at home.
