Our Wave System is all about understanding, trust and the right support at the right time 🌊💙

This short animation explains how we notice, respond and support children when they need a little extra help, whether that is emotionally, socially or with learning.

Every child moves through waves differently, and our approach helps staff work together to make sure no one is missed and every child feels safe, supported and ready to learn.

Watch the video to see how the Wave System works and how we support children and families every step of the way.

🐾 Stallholders Wa

Mental Health Awareness Week is a chance for all of us to pause, reflect and take action to support our mental wellbeing 💚

This year’s theme is Action, reminding us that even small steps can make a real difference. That might be checking in with someone, making time to talk, getting outside for fresh air, or asking for help when we need it.

Within our schools and communities, we are committed to creating safe, supportive environments where children, staff and families feel listened to, valued and cared for. Looking after our mental health matters just as much as our physical health, and we all have a role to play.

Take a moment this week to find one positive action that works for you and encourage others to do the same.

Find support, resources and ways to get involved by visiting Mental Health Awareness Week > mentalhealth.org.uk

Members of the Community Connections Enrichment Club from Sir John Talbot’s School enjoyed a visit to the Bradbury Care Centre during Wednesday Crew time 💙

They joined residents for an afternoon quiz, spent time chatting, and have already begun planning an activity they will lead on a future visit.

Their confidence, kindness and maturity made them fantastic ambassadors for SJT and it was clear how much the residents enjoyed their company.

A powerful Polish Cultural Evening at Sir John Talbot’s School

We were delighted to welcome students, families and members of our wider community to our recent Polish Cultural Evening. Led confidently by our Sixth Form students, the event shared insights from their enrichment trip to Krakow, exploring the city as a destination, key moments in Polish history, and their deeply moving reflections on visiting Auschwitz. This included the extraordinary opportunity to meet a Holocaust Survivor and hear their story firsthand.

The evening was open to everyone, particularly those interested in joining our Sixth Form, as we are now gathering expressions of interest for our next planned trip in 2027. All funds raised will go directly towards future Sixth Form visits to Krakow, helping to reduce costs for students taking part.

🎓 Exploring future pathways at Sixth Form 🎓

Our Year 12 Sixth Form students recently spent the day at the UCAS Discovery Exhibition at Staffordshire University. It was a great opportunity to speak directly with university and apprenticeship providers, ask questions and start exploring the wide range of options available after Sixth Form.

The event helped students gain a clearer picture of their possible next steps, and they will now begin preparing for their UCAS applications over the coming months.
Key UCAS dates for families to note:

• May 2026 – Students can begin their UCAS applications
• 1 September 2026 – Applications can be submitted
• 15 October 2026 – Deadline for Oxbridge, Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary courses
• 13 January 2027 – Main UCAS deadline for most undergraduate courses

We will continue to guide students through every stage of the process, and keeping these dates in mind will help families support planning at home too.

Visit www.sirjohntalbots.co.uk to find out more about Sixth Form pathways and support.
