Returning to school after a break can be a significant adjustment for children and young people, particularly when routines, concentration and social confidence need time to rebuild.
Our latest guide supports families, carers and education professionals with practical ways to make the transition smoother.
The guide explores:
• Restoring sleep and morning routines gradually
• Creating predictability through clear expectations
• Preparing school essentials in advance
• Encouraging responsibility in age-appropriate ways
• Supporting healthy nutrition, wellbeing and self-regulation
• Reconnecting with learning, friendships and familiar routines
With expert insight from Adam Gillett, Associate Vice Principal for Personal Development at Pen*stone Grammar School, this resource offers supportive ideas to help children return to school feeling more confident and prepared.

Thurrock's SEND team are running a competition that we'd love to be involved in!
Children who live in Thurrock with an EHCP or SEN Support Plan can bring their entries into school and share them with their class teacher and Mrs Mylam (School SENDCo) who will submit entries.

Today, Year 5 explored the history of World War I. They showed great interest, asked insightful questions, and shared some excellent thoughts during our discussions. We are very proud of the respect and maturity they demonstrated while learning about this significant event in history. 🌺📚✨

To those moving on to new adventures, we wish you every success. To everyone returning in September, we look forward to welcoming you back refreshed and ready for another exciting year.
