MENTALLY HEALTHY SCHOOL

The Aspire Academy Trust is committed to supporting positive mental health and the Aspire Mental Health Policy is available below.

The ‘Leading a Mentally Healthy School’ training programme has been developed by Health Education England (HEE) and the School Development Support Agency (SDSA), in partnership with an expert group of educational psychologists, education consultants and mental health organisations and responds to the areas highlighted in the recent Green Paper – ‘Transforming Children & Young People’s Mental Health Provision’ (December 2017).

WHERE TO GET SUPPORT

Your first point of contact is always the class teacher. Most questions or problems can be sorted out quickly and easily in this way. Teachers are available by contacting the school to arrange a phone call or appointment. We also have regular parent evenings to update you on progress and extra meetings if your child needs further support.

SCHOOL CLOSURE

We recognise that the decision to close a school in the event of an emergency (e.g. snow, flooding, no water or heating) has a significant impact upon you, as parents. The document below outlines the agreed procedure which all schools are asked to follow and offers advice to parents on the key things to consider, both before and after the decision to close has been made.

MUSIC LESSONS

We currently have keyboard, guitar, drum and brass lessons available in school.

Children receive ten lessons per term in school time and these are currently priced at £48.75 per term. Subsidised lessons are available if you are in receipt of certain benefits. Further details can be obtained from the Office.

We have a drum kit and keyboards for use during lessons in school but you will need to buy your own for practice at home. For any child taking drum lessons, the Music Service recommends the use of percussion practice pads, which are priced at approximately £8.00 each and available from most music stores.

If you would like to add your child to the waiting list of children who would like to receive lessons, please go to the Cornwall Music Service Trust website and sign up.

For any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the Office.
