Show kindness, patience, & understanding.This time of year can be difficult for young people. Just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean their struggles disappear — for some, the season can even make things feel heavier. A small act of kindness or understanding can make a real difference. 💛

We made it through another week 😃 Even if it wasn’t perfect we all kept going. Here’s to small wins & steady growth. Take a moment to recognize what you handled—big or small & let go of what you don’t need to carry forward. Rest, recharge, & give yourself credit for showing up. #FridayFeeling

Making playdough with a pupil isn’t just about the playdough. It’s about patience, turn-taking, sensory comfort,& learning new skills. A simple mixture becomes a quiet moment where pupils grow, settle, & feel safe to explore. #UNCRCArticle29

December can be a challenging month for us & our young people. The pressure to create the “perfect” Christmas can feel overwhelming. Allow yourself to ride the wave of emotions by acknowledging how you feel & what you’re thinking. Don’t push your feelings aside. #ItsOkayToFeel #EmotionalHealth

A simple drawing game can be such a powerful way to bring people together ✍️🎲
In The Haven, pupils enjoyed quiet fun, gentle connection, & a moment where the distractions drifted away — a small pause that supports wellbeing in meaningful ways.

🎅 Managing life through the festive period can be challenging.
We have created a Sway below, which highlights some of the struggles we can face and where support can be found 🖤💛🎄

We’ve made it to the last month of the year — a big shout-out to everyone working hard & pushing through final assessments. December can be busy, & full of energy, so remember to hit pause for yourself: a walk, a breath, or a moment to smile. Keep going, pace yourselves, & know that you’ve got this!

To help regulate a pupil we went on a nature walk to help reset & regulate. Back in class, they used the leaves in a craft activity to show their feelings. This nurturing approach supported their emotional needs & their right to express themselves #NurtureThroughNature

“Nurture isn’t an add-on—it’s what lets pupils fully engage in their work. Today, this pupil tackled a literacy task with focus and involvement. They also worked as part of a team, connecting with others, and letting conversations flow naturally. #Nurture #EngagedLearning #ConnectionsMatter
