In today’s assembly, we focused on the work of Mero’s World Foundation and the importance of Knife Crime Awareness Week.

Students learned about the devastating impact knife crime has on individuals, families and communities through the powerful story behind Mero’s World, a charity created in memory of Rhamero West. We discussed the importance of making positive choices, resisting peer pressure and looking after one another.

We also spoke about bleed control cabinets and how these life-saving resources can help in emergency situations before paramedics arrive.

As a school community, we are committed to raising awareness, educating our young people and promoting safety, kindness and support for others.💜

Our Hive Class have absolutely loved taking part in magnet fishing this term!🧲🌊

The children have shown amazing teamwork, curiosity and excitement whilst exploring what treasures they could find beneath the water. From rusty surprises to fascinating little discoveries, every session has been full of smiles, laughter and learning.💛

On Wednesday we came together to support Mental Health Awareness Month and had such a lovely time taking part in a range of activities across school!💚

Students and staff enjoyed a fun quiz, a “guess how many sweets are in the jar” challenge, and some fantastic poster designing. Our Thrive 1 class also spread lots of kindness by handing out uplifting notes to both staff and students, which brought plenty of smiles throughout the afternoon.

As part of the event, we were also raising money for the Mental Health Foundation to support the important work they do in promoting positive mental health and wellbeing.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the afternoon such a positive and supportive event 💚

🌍✨Our fantastic Hive students took learning beyond the classroom recently by heading out into the community for a litter-picking session as part of their lesson!

Not only were they developing important life skills, but they were also making a real difference to the local environment.🌱💚
We’re so proud of their teamwork, effort, and commitment to keeping our community clean and safe.

We were really pleased to welcome Kayleigh from Branching Out (part of Change Grow Live) into school, who delivered an engaging whole-school assembly on substance awareness.

Students learned about the risks linked to drugs and alcohol, while also exploring how to make healthy, informed choices. Kayleigh created a supportive space for discussion and helped raise awareness in a clear and relatable way.

A big thank you to Kayleigh and the Branching Out team for delivering such an important session for our students.

We were delighted to welcome Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service into school this week to deliver an engaging session as part of their Safe4Summer campaign🔥☀️

Pupils learned all about staying safe over the summer months, including important messages around water safety, anti-social behaviour and the dangers of deliberate fires. The campaign works with partners across Greater Manchester to help young people make safe and responsible choices during the holidays.

A huge thank you to the team for such an informative and interactive visit – our students took away some really important life-saving advice!

Our Thrive 2 class had a wonderful time visiting Cockfields Farm as part of their animal care learning!🐰🦙🌿

Pupils loved getting up close with the animals, learning how to care for them, and exploring the farm environment. It was a fantastic hands-on experience that brought their classroom learning to life.

We’re excited to share the latest drop-in sessions from the Tameside Neurodiversity Hub💚

These friendly, welcoming spaces are open to parents and carers who want a chat, some support, or guidance around neurodiversity - no diagnosis needed!
