  • Healthy Minds Champions Spreading Kindness

    Published 06/09/23

    When we launched a recruitment for some Healthy Minds champions we were overwhelmed by the response from the children and the enthusiasm that our champions have for their quest to spread kindness throughout Malin Bridge. With a "Kindness Charter" on display in every classroom, everybody is reminded of ways in which they can show kindness to other people and our environment every day. Our healthy minds champions show excellent examples of kind behaviour, notice and applaud kind behaviour in others and help other children.

    Examples of kind behaviour we see:

    • Using kind hands only
    • Taking turns
    • Listening to others and not interrupting 
    • Sharing
    • Putting equipment back neatly
    • Tidying up
    • Helping each other
    • Letting others join in games. 

    We're so proud or our champions - keep up the good work!

  • 04/09/2023 - A message from our head teacher regarding the recent school closures due to lightweight concrete:

    Published 06/09/23

    Dear Parents and Carers,

    You may have seen recent media coverage regarding Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) and its use in educational settings. RAAC is a lightweight form of concrete; because it is weaker than regular concrete, concerns have been raised about its long-term durability. Department for Education (DfE) has recently changed its guidance to education settings on the management of RAAC to take a more precautionary approach and as a result areas in affected spaces will be vacated.

    We wanted to inform you that we are not affected by this decision as we do not have RAAC in any of our buildings and therefore they will continue to function as normal. We understand that parents may want to understand more about the support to educational settings to manage RAAC safely. You can read more through the article published by the DfE on the Education Hub.

    I hope that this offers reassurance.

    Yours faithfully,

    Robbie McGrath
    Headteacher
