🎲 Pupils had a great time today at Games Club with Mr Dickson! A new game brought lots of excitement, laughter, & friendly competition. It was wonderful to see pupils relaxing, building thinking skills, & enjoying a safe, positive lunchtime space. ♟️💙 #GamesClub #Wellbeing #HealthyMind #Article31

It's Monday, let's do this! New week, new chances to learn, grow, and shine! Keep showing up. Keep trying. Keep believing in YOU. 💪✨ 😊 #MondayMotivation #positivemindset #mondaythoughts #MondayMood

Mrs Brown & Mrs Edwards are all set for the Xmas Fayre! 🎄☕ Excited to support & launch our new Barista Qualification venture. Come grab a festive coffee, tea or hot chocolate & see what skills our pupils will be learning. 🌟 #XmasFayre #BaristaSkills #CoffeeCommunity #FestiveVibes

A pupil wanted to try knitting, so we learned together. The gentle rhythm & chat helped them find calm & focus again. Each stitch built confidence, care, & quiet joy — a nurturing rhythm, a new skill, & wellbeing working side by side. #MindfulMoments #Article31 #NurturingPractice #LearningTogether

This is a really useful tool we’ve supported pupils in using and signpost them to — it’s great for building confidence and independence in their learning! #AnxietySupport #MentalHealthMatters #WellbeingApps #StudentWellbeing

Mrs Brown & Mrs Edwards can’t wait to see everyone after the October break! 💛 We know getting back into routine can be tricky for some of you. Take one step at a time — talk to your friends,take a break when you need one,& remember there is always people to support you in school.🌟🍂 #BackToSchool

Today is World Mental Health Day 💚 Taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Sometimes it’s hard to talk—especially with family or friends. That’s ok. Reaching outside your circle can make all the difference. You’re not alone. #WMHD #MentalHealthMatters

That Friday feeling is here 😁 last day of term - time to pause, breathe & reset. Wishing you a safe restful October break. Take time for you: rest well, laugh lots & do what fills your cup 🚴‍♀️⚽️📚🎸🪴🧑‍🍳🎨 🎟️ #Wellbeing #FridayFeeling #OctoberBreak

The news can be a lot lately—so much happening all at once. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Take breaks when you need to, talk with someone you trust,& focus on what you can control. Here are some helpful tips to manage the stress & stay balanced ⬇️

Lately, we’ve been talking to pupils about journaling—a simple but powerful self-care tool to feel more in control when life gets overwhelming. Writing thoughts down eases the mental load, calms the mind & creates breathing space. A small habit, big impact. Why not try it? 📝 #Journaling #SelfCare

It’s #WorldSmileDay! 😊 Even with stormy skies ahead, try & find small moments that spark a smile — in ourselves & others. 💛 Stay safe over the weekend. Take time for self-care: a cozy book, a warm drink, or simply a moment to breathe & just be 🙂 #WorldSmileDay #StaySafe #SpreadJoy #SelfCare

To celebrate National Poetry Day, pupils explored the sights, sounds, and feelings of autumn by writing their own poems. 🍂 From crunchy leaves to misty mornings and golden light, they shared thoughtful ideas about what autumn means to them. 🍁🌰 #NationalPoetryDay #AutumnPoetry

We’ve come across this brilliant free course that could really benefit our pupils parents and carers. The course will offer great tips and support for helping your YP thrive at school and at home. Worth a look! 🌟 #ParentSupport #FamilyLearning

Not every day will go your way. Not every day will feel okay. But it is okay to treat yourself with kindness and compassion. You’re not alone, and this feeling will pass. #SelfCompassion #KindnessMatters #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay

🎉 Our support spaces are all set up and ready! We’re excited to welcome parents and carers to today’s Promoting Learning Event. Let’s connect, share, and celebrate the ways we help our pupils grow and thrive. 💬📚 #Education #CommunitySupport #LearningTogether

Monday isn’t a bad day by default — it’s what we make of it. A fresh start, new challenges, maybe even a great day. Sprinkle it with positivity! Letting go of old assumptions can do wonders for our wellbeing. Let Monday surprise you. 😁 #Mindset #Wellbeing #Positivity

Tough day? Be kind to yourself. Take a moment to breathe and know it’s okay. Change your scenery if you can, or find a quiet moment. Today will end, and you’re doing your best. Remember, you’re not alone. Saying “today was hard” is a start. 💙 #OneDayAtATime #KeepGoing #HardDaysHappen

@drmatheson.bsky.social what a lovely moment this morning with our pupil. Thank you 🌺🌼 💛🖤💛

This morning in The Haven, nurture led the way. A dysregulated pupil talked about the flowers. A passing by colleague stopped & gave an impromptu lesson on pollination. The pupil’s mood shifted. A quiet, powerful moment of connection unfolded 🌸 #RelationalPractice #NurtureInSchools #ThisIsWhy

We look forward to meeting our pupils and their families at this event next week 😃. 💛🖤💛 #GHSfamily #SchoolOpenNight #PartnersInLearning

🐠 In The Harbour, Goldie the goldfish is more than a pet — it’s a teacher. Pupils learn care, empathy, and responsibility. For some, watching Goldie gently opens the door to conversation. Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference 💛 #Nurture #ClassroomConnections #SmallThingsBigImpact

This is your Monday reminder:don’t spend your time comparing yourself to others. We learn & grow in our own way. What you do well? Maybe you’re kind,a good friend, or really trying your best. It’s okay to go at your own pace. Be proud of who you are, just as you! #BeYou #MondayMotivation

Friday check-in: 😃 Weekend is loading… ⏳ but before it fully downloads, take a breath. Ask yourself — what do I need from these next two days? Rest? Connection? Inspiration? Movement? Whatever it is, give yourself permission to choose you this weekend. #WeekendLoading #MindfulFriday

A calm & meaningful 1:1 session today in the Lighthouse 💛 Supporting a YP as they navigated feelings of loss & the complex emotions that come with it. Every child deserves to be heard, supported, & gently guided through life’s difficult moments. #EmotionalWellbeing #TraumaInformed #NurtureSupport

We are so proud of our pupils for stepping out of their comfort zones — it’s not easy, but that’s where growth happens 😃 Spotting a Lighthouse too is amazing 🥾 🌊 🐚 #OutdoorLearning #ComfortZone #UNCRCArticle31

It was great to see some of our pupils enjoying themselves last night 😁💃🕺Some tired faces today in The Harbour 😫😴

Sometimes support looks like sharing something simple 🧩 It’s not just about solving a puzzle. It’s about being present, feeling safe & talking without pressure. In a world that moves fast, small moments like this help build trust. #nurture #calmspace #SmallThingsBigImpact

Friday vibes 😃 You’ve earned a breather — now it’s time to recharge. This weekend,try: 🌿 A walk (even if it’s raining) 🎧 Your favourite playlist 📚 A chill read or podcast 💤 Proper rest (no guilt!) 🧠 No pressure, just pause. Rest is productive too 💙 #FridayVibes #WeekendRecharge #WellbeingMatters
