PSHE at Eastlea

25th September 2024, 3.30 pm Year 10 Information Evening. Letter here

Here is an update on the PSHE/RSHE programme that is running at Eastlea this year. As we try to instil our core values into everything we do: “Be kind and respectful”; “Be ambitious”; “Act with integrity” we have designed our PSHE/RSHE curriculum with significant input from our students and from parental feedback over the last three years. The purpose of the PSHE/RSHE curriculum is to support and develop our students, as they grow to develop their performance in every aspect of their lives.

Mr M Walker, Head of Humanities / Associate Leader Our next Open Morning will be held on Saturday 28th September from 10am until 12 noon to provide prospective year 5 and 6 parents with an opportunity to learn more about our school. Even though you already have a child with us at Eastlea, this is an opportunity to introduce our school to your younger children.

There will be an opportunity to talk with key senior staff and pupils and learn about our vision for your children. There will also be a fun and interactive treasure hunt so parents/carers and their children can explore our amazing school facilities on a guided tour.

Please email info@eastlea.ncltrust.net if you have any questions.

Dyslexia Corner Children with dyslexia tend to have weaker handwriting skills.

This is because there can be too much overload between having to cope with spelling words and at the same time having to keep handwriting clear. To help support further there are specialist pens that can be purchased as shown on the right.

If you think your child could benefit from one of these pens let the Inclusion department know.

Ms Hayibor, Inclusion Teacher
