Last term saw the beginning of our new Parental Workshops. So far the workshops have focused upon anxiety and stress management. The idea of these workshops is to support parents and carers in developing the skills they need to support their young person.

Feedback has been positive, and we plan on continuing the workshops this term, and into the next academic year. Other forthcoming workshops will look at a variety of topics such as internet safety and positive money management, as well as a host of other interesting topics. Please keep an eye out for dates and invites, we would love to see lots of parents coming along.

If you would like to find out more, please contact Miss Morris (School Social Worker) through the usual communication routes.

As we begin the Summer term it is always good to reflect on the success of the student leadership team both as a cohort of students and some key individuals who have being successful in different areas across school so far this academic year during the Spring term.

New Prefect Cohort

As we move into the Summer term it is the time of year when prospective Year 9 & 10 students undergo the rigorous and robust prefect application process, so that they have the Summer term to be introduced to the role and develop the skills needed to be an outstanding prefect prior to going into Year 10 & 11.

The quality of the applications received this year were absolutely phenomenal and congratulations to the successful candidates.

Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School has a group of Anti-bullying Ambassadors.  This group are all trained students and they form a pivotal role in the anti-bullying work undertaken by the school.  They visit forms and speak to students, they hold regular meetings and have formed an excellent anti-bullying plan.  The school takes bullying seriously, and has a range of strategies to ensure the safety, happiness and well being of their students. 

Parents are consulted and the staff are trained to deal with friendship and bullying issues.  This school deserves this acknowledgement once again for their hard work, and have now achieved the BIG Award for their second year.  Well done to Ms Faulkner, all students and staff.
