Events - We Invented the Weekend

🌟 GCSE Exams – Week One Nearly Complete! 🌟

What an incredible start to exam season! As we come to the end of the first week of GCSEs, we want to take a moment to recognise the hard work, determination, and resilience our students have shown.

You’ve approached each exam with focus and maturity, and we are so proud of the commitment you’ve demonstrated- not just this week, but throughout your entire journey leading up to this point.

Your preparation, perseverance, and positive attitude have not gone unnoticed.

Remember, every exam is an opportunity to show what you know.

Keep believing in yourselves, stay focused, and look after your wellbeing as you move into the next week.

Keep going—you’ve got this! 💪✨

As the school holidays approach, please make sure you and your children fully understand the dangers of jumping from bridges and swimming in Salford Quays, rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other open water

Too many young people have already lost their lives; please help us prevent any more tragedies.

𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞:

🏊🏾‍♀️The water in the Quays, rivers, lakes etc is cold even on the hottest days

🌉Jumping from any height into cold water sends the body into automatic shock causing people to gasp. Even the best swimmer will be affected

😲 When you gasp you run the risk of taking water into your lungs and drowning; if you jump from a bridge you plunge deeper and increase the risk

⚠️There may also be hidden hazards which could prevent you from resurfacing

🛟 If you swim outside an organised session with lifeguards you are relying on your family/friends/members of the public to save you if you get into difficulties

🚫 Because of all these dangers there is a Public Spaces Protection Order in place which makes it against the law to jump from bridges and/or swim in Salford Quays except during organised swimming sessions with lifeguards

✅ Organised swimming sessions have a safe ratio of lifeguards to swimmers

🎦 The bridges are monitored by CCTV and regular joint council/police safety patrols walk the area. They will advise young people of the dangers but if ignored, warning letters and home visits may follow

👮In previous years, young people under 18 received warning letters and home visits from police, and adults received £100 fixed penalty notices

The Quays is a wonderful area to visit and enjoy, but we don’t want that visit to end in tragedy.

It is also important to remember that many people call the Quays home. Anti-social behaviour and littering is upsetting for residents. It costs nothing to be kind and thoughtful—please help keep everyone safe and enjoying their summer.

It is suitable for families with children up to 18 years old, or up to 25 years old where there is a formal or suspected neurodivergent need.

Many parents and carers live with aggression, intimidation or harmful behaviour behind closed doors. It can feel isolating, confusing and deeply upsetting. Families often tell us they feel judged, blamed or misunderstood, and that support is hard to find.

This workshop is designed to change that.

Delivered by specialist practitioners from Capa First Response, it will help parents and carers to:

🔹 understand what is driving the behaviour
🔹make sense of difficult family dynamics
🔹learn practical, compassionate strategies
🔹begin to create calmer, safer relationships at home

Our approach is relational, neuroscience-informed, attachment-based and solution-focused.
