We have had a refresh and thought you’d like to see it @jillberry102 @wps_staffs Staff lounge. 🥰

[Dr Jill Berry @jillberry102]

How can we encourage more staff to use the staffroom, following the period of the pandemic when some staff perhaps got out of the habit of meeting centrally? The Twitter hive-mind made some great suggestions! New blog post: https://t.co/WAFSRmWFUO

KS2 have had an exciting afternoon listening to Music students from Stoke Sixth Form College. They played a variety of instruments and spoke about how long they had been learning and about each of their pieces of music. The children seemed to have been inspired! #WerringtonMusic

What a great weekend of football. My youngest lad captained his school team to victory on Saturday. His Sunday team won to go top of the league (temporarily) today. ⚽⚽

My eldest lad (player manager) won his university league today too. 💪🏆⚽

Well done year 1, I loved the live show on Wednesday too!

[Werrington Primary @wps_staffs]

#WerringtonYear1 worked so hard this week rehearsing ‘The Nut Tree’ by Julia Donaldson. We then performed it to an audience, using our bodies express the poem. Well done Year 1, you’ve really impressed all of your adults!

My school, Stanley Road, used to have corridors that were largely left to pupils to set the agenda. They were noisy, uncontrolled places where quieter children (often those with SEND) kept their heads down and hung back to protect themselves away from the disruption. The school was a joyless place where teaching was a constant battle.

Several years ago, we began to proactively teach pupils to move around school silently, in single file, keeping their hands to themselves. Pupil behaviour was transformed.

Now...
All children feel safe around school.
They smile at staff as they pass.
No-one is bullied in corridors.
No-one is called names.
No-one is pushed aside in the rush to get out for break.
No-one has their learning disrupted by noise.
No-one enters their classroom unsettled and unable to learn.

Managing corridor behaviour in this way has, without doubt, made it a happier and safer school for everybody.
