This poem was written on the Write, Revive & Rebuild programme - the group used Simon Armitage's poem, 'It ain't what you do, it's what it does to you,' as a model for their own poems by exploring the importance of the everyday things we do or achieve that we don't always find time to praise ourselves for.I’ve never run a marathonOr seen the Northern lightsI’ve never been to Disney LandOr driven an enormous vanBut I have held my son’s small hand while he cried amongst the sandAnd whispered quietly in his ear that I love him dearI’ve never met a celebrityOr won a posh awardI’ve never cycled down the roadOr ever seen a terrible ghostBut I have rocked my son to sleep when things were just too muchAnd told him that I love him so with every part of meI’ve never invented anything grandOr even wrote a thrilling bookI’ve never learned an instrumentOr flown around the worldBut I have looked after my trembling son while he laid upon the bedAnd made sure that he felt secure and safe within my armsI’ve never been to GlastonburyOr displayed a piece of artBut I have held my son for hours while he cried upon the floorAnd told him that he’ll be ok and that I’m there for himI’ve never placed myself before upon a great big yachtOr even swam the channel sea for the NSPCCBut I have stroked my son’s brown hair while he was in despairAnd even held him close to me when he was so afraidAnd I’ll do this all my life you seeBecause I love him soAs nothing means much more to me Than that dear boy you knowWritten by Amanda who attended the Write, Revive & Rebuild programme May-July 2021 ...

It's the Mind Walk this Saturday! This isn't a physical fitness challenge - it's about taking the fight for mental health out into the open. The idea is to simply choose your own route (max 10km) and go for a walk on the 3rd July!If you're interested in taking part and supporting us, we'd love to hear from you! Drop us an email at [email protected] Alternatively, you can set up your own fundraising page here: www.justgiving.com/campaign/mindwalkwestessex ... See MoreSee Less

A message to all the brilliant, brave and beautiful year 6s, many of whom are in their last week of term.

Your resilience in the face of adversity this year has been admirable and you should be proud of yourselves. How you have faced the many challenges thrown at you during 1/2
