Pupil Development Centre
Parents/ carers will be aware that children need a lot of guidence with their social and emotional skills as they grow and develop. The Pupil Develpment Centre (known to the children as 'The Sanctuary') works with children in small groups from Foundation to Year 6 to offer extra help in developing these skills.
They may have fallen out with a friend or feel they are being left out. They may be finding it difficult to stick to school rules or be feeling angry or upset because of changes at home. All children can have these experiences at times, and learning how to deal with them is all part of growing up. Through activities that include art, drama and music, the staff will create a safe place for small groups of children to get a beeter feeling of working and playing together.
Mrs Crosthwaite and Mrs Kennedy are the sanctuary staff.
