Character Education in schools is critical in light of the Coronavirus lockdown.
There are many ways to include literacy themes in your school.
Reading motivational quotes can help us remain positive as Covid-19 continues to disrupt our daily lives.
Self-isolation wellbeing is more important than ever in light of the government’s decision to close schools for the foreseeable future. If you’re currently self-isolating due to the Coronavirus outbreak, as a teacher, parent or student, it’s important to keep calm and remain positive. However, this can be a challenge when you’re stuck indoors every day!
The space we live and work in has a very real impact on the way that we feel. The way that we feel has a very real impact on our attitude towards what we need to do.
Values are the guiding principles that determine behaviour, actions and words. At the heart of a school should lie values that are clearly defined and understood. These values underpin the culture that drives the teaching and learning in school and therefore the pupil’s experiences.
We'll visit your school to understand your goals, explain our process and provide you with a no-obligation quote.
The need for schools to have a clear vision, a core set of values and a strong ethos that underpins all that they do as a school and that are communicated clearly to all major stakeholders is more important than ever.
In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the decline in pupil’s mental health and well-being in our educational establishments and a need to address this in order to improve our children’s health and education achievement.
School Murals are a sure-fire way to brighten up any school wall or classroom.
School Library Wall Art is ideal for schools who want to inspire a love of reading and a lifelong appreciation of Literature.
Use bespoke designed wall graphics to help communicate your school’s visions and values, impress visitors, inspire learning and add a wow factor to your school.
Research on the effects of learning environments on pupil’s show that school buildings lay the foundations for pupils’ learning and for their experience in school.
It is often heard said that ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’. This is so true when trying to communicate the atmosphere, aims and ethos of your school to prospective parents, pupils, staff and Ofsted. Well-taken photographs used on bespoke designed wall art can say it all.
Is your school visually appealing for your pupils? When they close their eyes and imagine their school will it be a breathtaking, ‘happy place’ with wow factor or will their mental images be of plain, bland walls?
When we visit schools and they see the benefits and opportunities of Wall Art, one of the fundamental factors in them going ahead is of course budget.
Spring term is a busy one for important days that help us focus pupils on key skills or learning and raise their profile within school, for example, World Book Day, International Women’s Day and Safer Internet Day.
The statutory requirements for maintained schools to publish certain information on their school websites were brought into effect in 2012. Since then there have been a number of updates and changes to what should be published on school websites.
Anxiety and mental health issues in children and teenagers is rapidly increasing. Services like CAMHS are overloaded and Childline recently reported a rise of 35% in calls regarding anxiety issues.
Fostering a love of reading is always high on a schools agenda and raising the profile of reading plays an important role.
There are usually two camps of people when it comes to blogging in school – those who love it and those who hate it. It’s a bit like marmite.
Schools are busy places with events and changes happening every day so your website can quickly become filled with outdated information and need a spring clean.
Remi Atoyebi has been the head teacher of Osmani Primary School’s for ten years this year. The school itself is also celebrating the big 3-0. For Remi and her staff this year felt like a poignant time providing them with a natural opportunity to reflect on all the progress and achievements to be proud of so far and a time to question how best they as a staff could take Osmani forward for the next 10 years.
When The School Information (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2012 came in and school websites became a compulsory item for all schools Ofsted quickly made it clear that a school’s website would form part of their judgements. Schools these days are only too aware of how important a school’s website is both legally and in terms of Ofsted ratings.
As a teacher of many years I have seen so many new directives, ideas, ways of thinking and approaches to excellent provision and teaching. Some I have loved, some I have despised.
We live in a very visual culture. Your pupils are used to being visually stimulated from so many angles and from such a young age with all the technology that is available to them. In order to engage them, we are in a time where the visual presentation of lessons, activities and your school are of huge consequence to a pupil’s ability to learn.
As adults we are well aware of what effects our moods and motivation and its fair to say that usually, if we feel good in the environment and surroundings we live or work in then we feel happier. A dreary, tatty room is uninspiring, whereas an aesthetically pleasing workplace on the other hand has an impact on our positivity and our outlook.
As schools, you are constantly teaching children how to be e-safe, just as you are teaching them to play safely outside, cook safely and behave safely around each other and in public. Is the hard work that you do regarding e-safety clear to parents, prospective parents and Ofsted?
Before the end of term there was much speculation over changes to the Statutory Regulations for what should appear on a school website. Over the summer we have been keeping a beady eye on any changes.
Safeguarding is an important part of a schools duty towards the development of their pupils and is a very current topic this term with the new responsibilities for schools under The Counter Terrorism Act 2015.
