✨ A faithful shepherd, a courageous missionary and a passionate servant of Christ. ✨

Today we celebrate St Wilfrid, a great missionary bishop and peacemaker. His life was marked by a deep love for Christ, a commitment to the Church and a desire to share the Gospel with all those he encountered.

May St Wilfrid inspire us to be people of courage and faith - ready to proclaim the Good News, stand firm in what is right and serve others with generosity and compassion.

🙏 St Wilfrid, pray for us and guide us in our journey of faith.

💚🌍 WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY 🌍💚

Today is an opportunity to pause, check in with ourselves and remember that mental health matters.

Life can be challenging and none of us should feel that we have to face difficult times alone. Sometimes a simple “How are you?”, a listening ear or a little kindness can make a real difference. 💚

🌱 Be kind to yourself.
💬 Talk about how you’re feeling.
👂 Listen without judgement.
🤝 Reach out when you need support.
💚 Look out for one another.

Let’s help create a community where everyone feels seen, heard, valued and supported - today and every day.

✨ It’s okay not to be okay and it’s okay to ask for help.

So inspiring to spend time with Year 1 teachers across NPCAT for Session 1 of our Principles for High Quality Writing training! ✏️✨

This session focused on securing the strong foundations that make early writing possible, starting with "the child in front of us" as pupils transition from EYFS into Year 1.

Key takeaways from our discussions and moderation practice:

🗣️ Communication Foundation: If they can’t say it, they can’t write it—oral rehearsal comes first!

✍️ Transcription Foundation: Automated handwriting and spelling free up crucial cognitive capacity for composition.

🧱 Strong Foundations Framework: Building fluency in sentence construction, dictation, and phonic application step-by-step.

🔍 Formative Moderation: Looking beyond the finished product to identify the specific foundation a child needs next.

Huge credit to all the Year 1 educators involved for their active engagement, brilliant reflections, and dedication to helping every child build confidence as a writer! 🌟👏
