This week in assemblies, we have been exploring how to engage with new challenges, hearing the boys discussing how they might each approach a new problem and, perhaps more importantly, watching them help one another as they do so, is a real delight. Today, Mrs Brisk spoke to the boys about the BBC’s 500 Words competition. I have always enjoyed reading the boys’ entries for this particular competition and never cease to be amazed by their imagination. I am quite sure that this year will be no exception. Next week, we will be marking World Mental Health Day on Monday 9th October. Mr Livesley has written separately asking the boys to come into school wearing something yellow for our whole school assembly. During the course of the week, the boys will be participating in a range of different activities to highlight the importance of discussing mental health and not hiding away from it. Over the next few Fridays, I will very much enjoy meeting with all of the children who have joined Park Road this year, sharing a cup of hot chocolate with them and hearing what they have to say about their first few weeks in our school. I also hope to see many of our new parents at our Harvest Assembly next Thursday, 12th October. Earlier this week, you will have received Mr Britton’s email about looking ahead confidently to the future with regard to independent education. You can read an article written by him on the same topic via the link below: https://head.boltonschool.me/2023/09/25/confidence -in-the-future-ofindependent-education/ I should like to thank our Year 5 parents for making arrangements for your son to be able to help us on Open Morning this coming Saturday, 7th October, their support, as well as yours is very much appreciated.
