Aspris

What a way to get into the festive spirit! Students from Arden College went to see the Blackpool lights and received a special treat of dinner out last week.

This is just one example of how our colleagues go above and beyond to enrich the lives of children and young people. The young people had a great time!

We're super proud of the young people at The Warren Children's Home, who have started a shoebox appeal to support families in Ukraine. These boxes contain chocolates, toys and essential items, which will be given to those in need over the festive period.

The young people have surpassed their goal of donating ten boxes - well done to The Warren!

To commemorate Remembrance Day at Aspris, our services will be dedicating time to teach our young people about the importance of today.

Our friendly team will be at on Wednesday 9th November. If you're looking for a rewarding career with a supportive and innovative organisation, come and say hello. 👋

We've got lots of exciting roles available, and our team will help find something best suited to you. If you can't make it to The Job Fairs, head to careers.aspris.com to find out more about the exciting roles we currently have available.

We were delighted to welcome World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Joe Joyce to one of our schools recently, as part of their Black History Month celebrations to provide an inspirational talk about his career.

Joe was a great sport, answering questions from students and colleagues at Roehampton Gate School in London, which included: "Do you think you could win against a T-Rex dinosaur?"

One student said: "It was the best assembly I have ever had in all the schools I have ever been to."

Thank you Joe!

Aspris is deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Our thoughts are with the Royal Family and those across the UK and Commonwealth nations as we join them in mourning. We thank Her Majesty for 70 years of exemplary service to our country.

It's International Dog Day!

Studies have shown that even small interactions with dogs cause the human brain to produce oxytocin, a hormone which increases feelings of relaxation, trust and empathy while reducing anxiety. This is why we're happy to have dogs to support our colleagues, children and young people across our offices, services and at home.

We love to share photos of our dogs, which increases these positive feelings, so here are just a few of our four-legged friends at Aspris. We'd love you to share some of your dog photos with us!

Children and young people across our schools, colleges and homes have been getting creative recently after a competition was launched to inspire the final designs of the new behaviour icons for Aspris, which we're delighted to be able to share.

Trevor Torrington, Chief Executive Office at Aspris, said: “Children and young people are at the heart of everything we do here at Aspris, so when the unique opportunity arose to create a new set of behaviours it seemed natural to get their creativity and talent behind it.”

To take a look at the designs and find out more about the inspiration behind them, click here: http://ow.ly/1jhC50KlBMZ

Teenager excluded from three schools now travels 40 miles for his education

What an inspiring story from a young person at one of our schools!

Talking about his move to Rossendale School in Lancashire, Marcus said: "I know now it was the best decision for me and my education because I'm not different anymore (and) there are lots of other Marcus' at this school. Teachers are trained specifically to support kids like me. I have a personal curriculum that focuses on my strengths, not my weaknesses. There are only five others in my class with two staff so it's much calmer and therefore easier to learn."

We're very proud of Marcus and the amazing things he's achieved since moving to one of our specialist schools, and we're thrilled that he's made the shortlist of eight out of 72,000 nominations for the National Diversity Awards.

The Job Fairs

Our students at Sheridan School weren't just showing off their sporting talents at their recent sports day. Students also used 3D printers and laser etching in their Design and Technology lessons to create these fantastic trophies and medals. Brilliant work!

Today is Bring Your Dog to Work Day! 🐶

Our dogs have a variety of different roles at Aspris: some provide company while our colleagues work from home, some are a fun and friendly presence in the office, and some provide mental health benefits to the children and young people across our services.

Here's what one of the students said about their school dog, Rocket:

"Rocket the school dog has multiple benefits, especially when students are particularly worried, anxious or even upset. By having Rocket, it improves students' attendance and engagement with education and he provides a sense of belonging and comfortability. It can really make my day when Rocket is in."

We are delighted to announce that Paperbag Cottage in Hampshire has been recently rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted for a second successive inspection!

Ofsted praised the children’s home throughout the report and said: ‘The care given to children at this home is outstanding. Children make exceptional progress, and this is made possible by a staff team that is dedicated to supporting children and promoting their continued development. Children are provided with heart-warming and dedicated person-centred care that helps them to make excellent progress.’

The inspectors went on to say: ‘Children are cared for by an exceptionally motivated staff team. Staff promote a sense of pride in the children. Staff effectively support children to develop their independence skills. These skills are carefully selected in accordance with their age groups and abilities.’

Well done to the team at Paperbag Cottage on this fantastic achievement!
