Welcome to The Polesworth School

I am privileged to lead The Polesworth School.

Education brings with it the responsibility to prepare the young people in our care for happiness and success in their adult lives. Polesworth provides care, support and guidance to ensure that your son or daughter achieves their full potential.

Polesworth takes great pride in shaping the academic, pastoral and social aspects of your child’s life. This is based upon fundamental basics that include trust, respect and quality first teaching. We equally place emphasis on keeping children safe and ensuring that the welfare of our students is paramount.

Students in our care thrive and flourish to become well-balanced and well educated individuals who are empowered to make effective contributions to their wider community.

The educational landscape is changing dramatically and Polesworth responds superbly to these changes through our curriculum offer, the high quality of teaching and learning that takes place every day and our innovative practice.

We very much look forward to working in partnership with you in guiding your son/daughter through the next stage of their development.

I would warmly welcome you to Polesworth to see for yourself the mix of warmth, fun, strong relationships and personal and academic achievement that makes Polesworth so special.

Mental Health Awareness Week

Mental Health Awareness Week – 12-18th May

This year the theme is Community.

How does community benefit your mental health? Being part of a community can make life feel more meaningful and enjoyable, help us feel happier and safer, and improve our mental health. Yet sometimes, although we’re all part of communities, we don’t always realise the benefits for our mental health.

A couple of things will be happening this week to promote this….

** There will be an information stall at lunchtimes, Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri with handouts, helpful tips as well as a community box for students to add ideas for groups/communities that they would like to set up in school.

** Mindfulness sessions – Drama Studio. Mrs Asbury will be running mindfulness sessions during break on the below times for those interested. This be an opportunity to learn more about what mindfulness is, to try out some useful breathing exercises and how to be more in the present moment.

Year 7 /Year 10 Thursday 15th May Year 9/11 and Year 8 Friday 16th May
