It's been a busy first week! We've taken time to reflect, look ahead and unite around our vision. We also completed safeguarding training to ensure it remains at the heart of all we do.

The real highlight though was welcoming our students back!

This term our safeguarding focus is: 'Worried About Your Family? - Tell a Trusted Adult.'

We're raising awareness of the challenges some families may face and encouraging students to recognise when support is needed.

A positive Induction Day for our new starters at Selston High School! ⭐️ 💙

I enjoyed sharing our approach to PL @ttctrust.bsky.social including the PLS and some initial DP of TLAC techniques. 👏

They were also the first to receive a set of our new SHS T&L Quick Reference Flashcards!

Across our Trust there's a strong culture of appreciation, with many schools using Friday to celebrate students’ work from the week.

It's just one of the ways we reinforce our values, promote attendance and recognise the importance of working hard every day.
