Thurlstone Primary School

All our wonderful staff deserve the biggest of THANK YOUS! 💕

Today there was over 400 thank yous from our school community for our wonderful staff, both teacher and associate. Thank you to our staff for all they do, and all the teachers out there in our school community.

🧡🖤On Saturday the 6th of June, Emily and Jo, our AEMHP's, attended the Family day in Barnsley. It was a great opportunity to chat to parent's / carers about what we do as a service and it was lovely for some of the young people to recognise the practitioners from workshops they have received in school! They enjoyed completing the wellbeing wordsearches and creating positive affirmation flowers 🧡🖤

What a great space for children and young people to explore their interests and have fun, if you haven't been it's definitely worth a visit!

Thr children totally love this club!

What a cracking start to another after school club at Thurlstone Primary School - a fully booked club is how we roll! We’ve made a start to our motorised buggies and every single clubber worked their socks off! Can’t wait for next week!

Please help us to spread the word by either simply telling your family & friends or sharing this post. It would be greatly appreciated 🙏

We are open this week Monday-Friday 9.30-4pm & Saturday 10-3pm.

A child who feels unsafe, unheard or overwhelmed cannot learn from punishment.

Behaviour is communication.
Tantrums, shouting, defiance, shutting down - these are often signs of stress, fear, frustration or unmet needs.

Children need connection before correction.
They need calm before consequences.
They need adults who ask “What happened to you?” instead of “What is wrong with you?”

The way adults respond in hard moments shapes a child’s brain, self-worth and future relationships far more than most people realise. Trauma-informed parenting focuses on emotional connection first because children regulate through relationships.

Every parent, carer, teacher and professional needs to read this. Please share if you believe children deserve understanding, not shame. ❤️
