Woodlands care home visit- October 2026
It was a joy to continue our long-standing partnership with Woodlands Care Home as members of the School Council and Worship Warriors spent time with residents creating beautiful Autumn-themed artwork together. The visit provided a wonderful opportunity for children and residents to share laughter and creativity, strengthening friendships across generations. We are so grateful for this special relationship, which continues to flourish year after year, enriching the lives of both our pupils and the care home community.
SOCIAL SIGNATURE- STUDENT VOICE EVENT
Three of our school councillors attended the Student voice event at The Atkinson, along with a member of staff, where they joined children from other schools across Southport to explore how young people can make a positive difference within their communities. The event encouraged pupils to think about leadership, social action and the impact that even small acts of kindness can have on those around them. Through hearing from the local organisation, the Windmills Foundation, pupils reflected on ways they can support others, contribute to community projects and use their voices to bring about positive change. The experience inspired our School Council members to return to school with new ideas about how they can help make a difference to those around them. https://www.socialsignature.org/

Worship Warriors and the School Council joined an online which taught them how to introduce and support assemblies, lead thoughtful discussions, create and maintain engaging displays, gather pupils’ views and champion Picture News across the school community.

School Council
School council representatives gathered pupil voice by carrying out a whole-school survey about the No Outsiders programme. The results showed that most children enjoyed the sessions and found them very helpful for understanding friendship issues and how to include others. Pupils said the lessons helped them think about kindness, respect and feelings of being left out.
Some of the comments included:
“It helps me know how to be a good friend.”
“No Outsiders shows us that everyone should be included.”
“It helps when people fall out, we learn how to make up again.”
“I like learning about people who are different from me.”
The school council shared the feedback with staff, helping to show how No Outsiders supports positive relationships and inclusion across the school.
Here is a word cloud highlighting the most common words used in the survey!
