St Thomas More Catholic Primary School
St. Thomas More are delighted to announce we are now hosting 'Forest Fridays' as part of our curriculum - a unique and powerful way of enriching the learning experience beyond the classroom. Our 'Forest Fridays' will be led by an experienced and skilled practitioner who will seamlessly blend outdoor exploration with essential life skills.
By taking our learning beyond the classroom, our children will be encouraged to connect with nature, develop curiosity, and build resilience in a hands-on environment. Activities like building shelters, identifying plants, and working together on outdoor challenges will promote problem-solving, teamwork, and independence in new and exciting ways. Integrated alongside our regular curriculum, we envision that, 'Forest Fridays' will nurture not just academic success but confidence, creativity and a lifelong appreciation for the natural world.

St Leonard's Catholic Secondary School
Here at St. Leonard's our Holistic Curriculum, shaped by pupil and parental feedback last year, is in full swing and each week we aim to focus on a particular strand, developing our pupils' abilities outside the classroom. Our Holistic Curriculum focus next week is ‘Emotional: Resilience and the ability to face challenges and recover from difficulties’. Pupils will look at this theme in tutor time assemblies where Mrs Curry will be bringing to light Safeguarding contextual issues.
Each of the eight strands has it’s own excellence:
Spiritual, Emotional, Moral, Cultural, Social, Physical, Mental, Academic.
