Our inspiring Pastoral Manager Mrs Blowers led some very powerful assemblies this week focused on our core value of kindness. She outlined to students how important our school mantra of ‘Our School has a Mind to be Kind’ is and praised the hundreds of students who are living out this mantra each and every day – highlighting then on the big screen in the Main Hall.Her message was simple but powerful – a small act of kindness can change someone’s day. Saying thank you to a teacher, offering to help a friend, demonstrating kindness to a stranger, being charitable etc. can have a real impact on changing our society for the better. She finished her motivational assembly by encouraging us all to choose a few things from Deputy Headteacher Mrs Ash’s Advent Calendar of Kindness to do this month as we look forward to Christmas.  Above all keep being kind!
