Who leads well-being?
Hello Based off our parent questionnaire, some of you are unfamiliar with who the lead of wellbeing is within our school, so I thought I would introduce myself…
Young Carers
My name is Angharad Curtis and I am currently leading all well-being initiatives throughout the school I teach full time in Year 5 and 6 and also lead all classes from year 3 up I am passionate about helping each and every pupil meet their full potential, both academically and mentally and emotionally. We not only support our pupils in school, but our whole community. If there is anything I can help with, please come and say hello on the yard or contact the school for a cup of tea and chat
Roots of Empathy
Roots of Empathy is up and running thanks to our wonderful volunteer family, Mum, Mia and baby Reya The children love the sessions and are learning so much about empathy and human development. Thank you for giving up your time to help our pupils learn.

Welcome
A massive welcome to Mrs Leigh Clifford who is our new Pupil Welfare & Family Support Administrative Assistant. You may have already said hello when calling the school office. Mrs Clifford has fitted in perfectly and is a wonderful new addition to our school.
University Students
Every year our school provides a learning environment for university students to train to become a teacher. This year is no exception. We have 7 excited teaching students who will be with us throughout the year in various classes. Please say hello if you see them on the yard.
Mrs Kenting is back!
Welcome back Mrs Kenting. We are glad you have returned and are just as excited to teach our Libanusians as you were before the summer holidays.

Mini Police
Hello, I am Mrs Emilie Thornton and I have the pleasure of running the Heddlu Bach imitative in Libanus. This year we have 13 mini police officers who have really embraced their role The pupils have already planned and delivered a whole school assembly about road safety and completed some checks on Libanus Road to ensure it is safe for our pupils Keep up the good work! I would also like to say a big thank you to our local PCSO's for working so closely with us
Don't forget you can visit Caerphilly's clothes exchange where all of our donated school uniform is cleaned and made available to you
Design to smile has started back up
The NHS Design to Smile program is back in school for our Nursery to Year 2 pupils. Educating our Libanusians about the importance of oral hygiene is very important to us. We hope this program sets up our children for happy and healthy lives.

In Libanus our pupils' well-being and happiness is a priority for us as we know that without happy children, there is a limit to what we can teach and they can learn. We endeavour to provide our pupils with the best learning experiences and opportunities as possible Therefore, we are always reflecting upon practise and aiming to improve on what we currently do in school. A collaboration of senior staff, teachers, pupils and governors walk through the school exploring focused questions This term we focused on our humanities and health and well-being areas of learning.
