Greetings from the school

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we come to the end of a busy term, this edition of our school newsletter shows just a few examples of the talents, energy and generosity of our school community. I hope you enjoy it.

Our greatest strength is our students and we are delighted that they have settled quickly into school life this term. Pupils continue, in all of their endeavours, to make an outstanding contribution to Stanwell’s vibrant learning community, within and outside of the classroom. I am hugely grateful to our outstanding staff team who have the strongest commitment to ensuring the best possible experiences for our young people, whether in lessons or through the extensive range of extra-curricular clubs, groups, trips and visits that they provide.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, our parents and carers, for all of your support of the school and for working in partnership with us during 2018.

On behalf of all at Stanwell School, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Yours faithfully,

Trevor Brown Headteacher

We adopt a whole-school approach across the seven different health topics: food and fitness, mental and emotional health and well being, personal development and relationships, substance use and misuse, environment, safety and hygiene. As a group, we consider relevant school poli- cies, menus and dining areas and the school website, to ensure we are promoting health and well-being as effectively as we can.

This term, the Healthy Schools Groups have been gathering evidence of what is going on in school relating to the key area of Mental and Emotional Health and Wellbeing, in order to achieve the National Quality Award.

Students took part in a Wellbeing questionnaire and the data generated is being looked at by members of the Healthy Schools group and the School Council. In addition to this, sixth formers have received training in mental health techniques, via a specially assigned pastoral day.

Congratulations to the following pupils who have attended school every day since September. Research continues to show that pupils’ attainment grades are directly linked to their attendance rates and that explained/authorised absence is comparable in its effects on attainment with unexplained absence.
