Sunshine Sessions
Sunshine Sessions Intent Statement - Read HERE
We are so lucky to be able to offer our own bespoke nurture sessions within school on a weekly basis. Using specially selected resources and specially trained staff, children are encouraged to share their emotions and work through how they are feeling in a safe and secure environment.
All parents whose children received Sunshine Sessions in this academic year (2023/24) were asked to complete a short survey about the sessions and the impact on their children. The feedback from this survey will be used to inform improvements, where these are identified. The results from this survey can be found HERE
Mrs Callaghan runs Sunshine Sessions on Monday afternoons and during the whole day on Wednesday. We are so lucky to have her in our school team.
