Is a screen-free day a good idea for students, staff and parents? (Poll closes before screen-free day starts!)

[PHC Boarding @PHCBoarding]

Yes, time to unplug and go screen-free for a day. So many great ideas for the students to explore, or take control of their own learning for a day in other screen-free ways of their choice. https://t.co/RM3taWAqRC

[@phchitchin @PHCPreston]

We hope everyone enjoys delving into learning activities of their choice tomorrow. We are looking forward to hearing about how everyone spent their screen-free day on Thursday! Don't forget to check the bulletin for inspiration: https://t.co/FtFnFiJ7KP

This Wednesday we are going to be screen-free PHC. Online lessons and form time are cancelled for one day to allow students and staff to discover alternative ways to enrich their learning. We have lots of fantastic ideas to inspire the PHC Community here:

Wow, a lovely (anonymous) message to us from one of our boarders, courtesy of @UKThankATeacher. We missed you too, and can’t wait to be back together in September either.

We have loved seeing and using the Amazing People Schools’ resources this term. Here’s a ‘wellbeing workout’ for the summer - develop the vital ‘soft’ skills ... powerful personal strengths such as resilience, curiosity, perseverance, motivation, adaptability etc. Give it a go!

[Amazing People Schools @Amazing_Schs]

A free resource from Amazing People Schools - our Summer Strengths builder! Do hope your students enjoy developing their #character and #wellbeing this summer with our fun ideas.

[PHC Boarding @PHCBoarding]

We always encourage and respect the Student Voice. This was a particularly powerful message.

Well done Asher!
