What Parents & Educators Need to Know about Energy Drinks
What Parents & Educators Need to Know about Energy Drinks
On Friday 2nd February, pupils in T1 demonstrated their love for our furry friends and whipped up a storm for a scrumptious cake sale in aid of Battersea Dogs Home. From classic cupcakes to gooey brownies, the sweet delights attracted customers from our school community, showing compassion for dogs who were being looked after at Battersea.
Pupils worked together in a mature and industrious manner to plan and run the sale to a very high standard. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to suggest that some even have a future in trading - market trading!
The table and backdrop looked very professional, and all pupils had a role to ensure everything went smoothly. The response from the school community was overwhelming. Pupils and teachers alike supported the sale, eager to contribute to this worthy cause.
T1 showed they can work in a team, handle a public facing role, deal with money and work out how to make a healthy profit. These are transferable skills, and undoubtedly desired in the workplace.
The hard work and dedication paid off, as the cake sale raised an impressive £102 for Battersea Dogs Home. This fantastic achievement is a testament to the children's compassion, and it will undoubtedly make a real difference in the lives of the dogs.
The event instilled valuable life lessons, learning about the importance of teamwork, responsibility, and giving back to the community. They also experienced the joy of using their talents to make a positive impact on the world around them.

I know that like me parents of SEND children are feeling surveyed out at this time!!! Not a week goes by without a survey or consultation request arriving in my inbox. Please do not swipe this into junk!!
Here is why! - We need you!
We are in the process of reviewing the therapy provision of Physiotherapy Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy and Occupational Therapy, here in Kent and Medway. To do this we want to hear from as many parents as possible about your experiences, be they good or bad. We need to know what is working and what is not to make the changes that will improve the experience of families so that we can commission services that work for you.
I know that children often have therapy at school which is not always close to home and one child’s experience can be different to another’s. This is because there are different providers working across the county. We need families’ experiences to create an accurate picture of the situation across the whole of Kent and Medway. I can only collect this information with your help.
We have tried to keep the survey as short as possible so it can be completed as quickly, please if you manage to get five minutes, (I know how hard that can be!), fill it in and pass it on through your parent networks.
There will be more opportunities to contribute to this review as it progresses. If you would like to be involved or would like feedback on the review’s findings, please include your contact details when completing the survey.
Thank you for your time.

Rowhill School is inviting staff and pupils to wear RED to raise awareness against racism on Friday 20th October.
This event is part of the Kent and Medway Family Network that sits within the designated keyworker service. We aim to strengthen the support available to group facilitators and in turn strengthen the peer support available to families. It is on this weekend and I am trying to drum up some more interest.
