There are now just two weeks to go until the official launch of The 3-18 Education Trust’s Belonging Framework! Watch the launch video here.
The Belonging Framework is designed to guide and support staff, parents/carers and external agencies to offer appropriate knowledge and tools which help students in our schools to feel valued and understood. This is something that school and Trust staff have been working on throughout this academic year, led by Sadie Howson our Trust Director of Safeguarding and SEND.
To celebrate the Belonging Framework the Trust has launched a Trust-wide competition to encourage our students to start thinking about what belonging means in their school.
Students from all schools have been invited to submit a creative response to the brief, with house points for all participants and an Amazon voucher for each school’s winning entry.
The deadline for entries is Friday 23rd May.
In our school we have shared the launch video in classes and started to think about what belonging means to us as classes and as a school. Children are encouraged to participate in the competition to share what belonging means to them, this could be in a variety of ways – a picture, words, poem, dance or a piece of art work. Get creative! We look forward to seeing your entries.
We will be selecting a Belonging Ambassador for our school based on the competition entries. All schools will have Belonging Ambassadors, who will work as a team to support the essential sense of belonging within their schools.
