• Parent/Carer Wine and Cheese Evening - 16.10.2019

  Thu 17 Oct 2019

  A big thank you to all those who attended the Wine and Cheese evening yesterday. There were 20 of us there from 13 families.

  You will find the presentation from last night under Parent/Carers / letters. We talked about the principles, ethos and routines of Restorative Approaches used at Laleham Gap School.

  There were many suggestions including the timing of the Year 7 Parents Evening. As a school we will review how the school can increase the communication between tutors and Year 7 families early in the academic year. We discussed the diary date list and its format, again we can try to improve this.

  Once again thank you for coming and we will publish a date for the next coffee morning soon. If you have any suggestions for a focus topic then please let me know.

  Kind regards

• Spanish and Hispanic Culture Day - Thursday 17 October 2019

  Wed 09 Oct 2019

  Dear Parents and Carers,

   

  Spanish and Hispanic Culture Day – Thursday 17th October, 2019

   

  Part of Laleham Gap School’s Personal Development curriculum includes the aim to promote curious and respectful global citizens.  One way we aim to do this is through enrichment Culture Days across Primary and Secondary classes.

   

  Thursday 17th October 2019, our last day of Term 1, is going to be our whole-school Spanish and Hispanic Culture Day.  All pupils are invited to wear something Spanish-themed or dress in red and yellow to match the colours of the Spanish flag.

   

  Pupils will stay in their usual classes but lessons will be themed to explore the language and culture of Spanish speaking countries.

   

  The school dinner menu will also reflect a Spanish fiesta: Chicken Fajitas and Vegetarian Paella followed by Churros and ice-cream!

   

  We hope it will be a fun and celebratory day for all involved.

   

  Muchas gracias,

   

  Mrs Helen Schroepfer

  Personal Development Lead

• World Mental Health Day Letter

  Wed 02 Oct 2019

  1st October, 2019

  Dear Parents/Guardians,

   

  World Mental Health Day

   

  On Thursday 10th October it is World Mental Health Day. As part of our continued work surrounding young people’s mental health, wellbeing and promoting children’s rights we will be hosting a #HelloYellow event on behalf of the YoungMinds charity here at Laleham Gap School.

  #HelloYellow aims to raise awareness of young people’s mental health and more importantly, aims to demonstrate to all young people with mental health issues that they are not alone.

  As part of our participation on Thursday 10th October, we are holding a non-uniform day and encouraging all pupils and staff to wear their favourite item of yellow clothing or their favourite yellow costume.

  If your child would like to take part and you are able, we are suggesting a £1 donation for participating in order to raise money for the YoungMinds charity and the important work that they do.

  To find out more about the charity’s work, please visit their website, YoungMinds.org.uk.

  Thank you for your continued support.

  Yours faithfully,

   

  Jonathan Deslandes

  Head of Wellbeing
