Dear families,
It is sometimes challenging to know how to discuss war and conflict with children. Please find below some links to organisations that advise about how to talk to children about scary world news.

Please don’t hesitate to contact the school if your child is feeling anxious.
Take care,
The Heights’ SENCo team

Hello families,
Many of the families that I support have communicated to me that their children’s sleep behaviour has changed during Lockdown. This is understandable however research shows that poor sleep negatively impacts behaviour and emotional regulation. Therefore I wanted to direct families to the Great Ormond Street website where there are lots of top tips for establishing good sleep hygiene.

I hope this is helpful.
Take lots of care,
Mrs Mullaney
