FROM THE HEAD
The phrase 'self-esteem' is used to talk about the beliefs that one has of oneself: one’s abilities and potential to achieve. Encouraging positive self-image and healthy self-esteem in all the children in our care is one of the most important roles we have to play as educationalists and, getting it right will impact on children’s future success far beyond their adolescent years.

The children showed off their skills they have been working on in their sports lessons with Rory, and demonstrated their great Collaborative spirit and sportsmanship during their events.
