A reminder that Friday 9th October is Mental Health Awareness Day, and we will be saying Hello to Yellow! 🌻✨

To show our support and raise awareness of the importance of positive mental health and wellbeing, students are invited to wear something yellow to school on Friday. This could be a yellow T-shirt, jumper, accessory or even just a splash of yellow if they would like to. As always, there is no pressure to join in with changing uniform.

Throughout the day, students will also have the opportunity to take part in a range of fun, accessible activities focused on wellbeing, positivity and supporting one another. We’re looking forward to seeing our school filled with yellow and coming together to remind everyone that mental health matters. 💛🌈

We’d love for you to come along, have a coffee, enjoy a catch up and spend some time with other parents/carers and members of the school team in our lovely new café space. There’s no need to book, just come along. Everyone is welcome! 🍐

Autumn is on the way at Pear Tree! 🍂 Look at these beautiful, shiny pumpkins! Students have been working hard to maintain the vegetable patch this year, and it is absolutely paying off now! Fantastic work, well done to all involved.

CASE CLOSED! 🔎

Earlier today, we shared some of the brilliant detective work taking place as part of our FutureReady Emergency Services Careers Day… and we can now reveal that the mystery of the missing staff room biscuits has officially been solved! Students questioned Suspect 1 and 2, listened carefully to their stories, looked for clues and worked together to decide who they thought was responsible. There was plenty of laughter in the hall as our detectives put both suspects through some very serious questioning! 😂

After considering all of the evidence, students decided that Suspect 1 was the biscuit thief! 🍪🚨 Their suspicions were confirmed when the remains of the missing biscuits were discovered in her bag, much to their disapproval.

It was a fun way for all students to develop their communication, questioning, listening, problem-solving and decision-making skills, while learning a little more about the work of detectives and the police. A fantastic afternoon of learning, laughter and some very impressive detective work! Well done Team Pear Tree👏🍪

Excitement is building for our FutureReady Careers event this afternoon. One of the sessions will see some of our students try and solve the Case of the Missing Biscuits! Who do you think stole them?!

We were absolutely thrilled to hear that staff at Pear Tree had been nominated for a Stockport SEND Superstars Award by the family of one of our students! The nomination was detailed and recognised the welcoming, inclusive culture at Pear Tree, as well as the care, patience and support shown to our students and their families every day. 💚

It was especially lovely to know that all staff including teachers, support staff, administration, maintenance and catering staff were recognised, and the contributions that everyone makes to our school community. Although we weren't selected as a winner on this occasion, we are incredibly proud to be nominated (particularly in such a strong round of nominations!)

A huge well done to our dedicated, nurturing Team Pear Tree, and an even bigger thank you to the family who took the time to nominate us. It really does mean a lot. 🍐💖
