☕💙 Brew Monday at Clarice Cliff 💙☕

Instead of Blue Monday, we chose connection, warmth, and wellbeing with a joyful Brew Monday celebration. Our students came together for an afternoon-tea-themed session designed to uplift, engage, and encourage positive social experiences.

Pupils enjoyed a rich, multisensory experience, exploring the sights, smells, tastes, and textures of cakes, biscuits, finger sandwiches, fruit tea, and English tea. These sensory opportunities supported curiosity, exploration, and enjoyment, helping students respond to both new and familiar experiences with confidence.

Fine-motor skills were thoughtfully embedded as students practised pouring with teapots, showing growing control and independence. Alongside this, we explored feelings and emotions using symbols and signs, supporting communication and helping pupils link sensory experiences with emotional language.

The session encouraged shared attention, turn-taking, and positive social interaction, with students showing anticipation and engagement throughout each stage of the activity.
A truly warm and meaningful afternoon that promoted wellbeing, independence, and joyful learning 💛✨

We are planning on opening as usual tomorrow (Wednesday).

Should anything change overnight we will of course let you know as soon as we can.

Thank you for your understanding.

School will be closed today (Tuesday 6th January).

I’m writing to update you on the current school closure.
Unfortunately we are still unable to open the school tomorrow (Tuesday). With the ongoing low temperatures persisting overnight along with the poor road conditions on and around the site, it will not be possible to open safely.

I will keep you updated and thank you for your patience and understanding.

Jamie Campbell, Headteacher.
