Why this and why here?
The data from the most recent health check for Early Years and Year 6 shows that the number of overweight children in school is both above the national average, and above the average for North East Lincolnshire.
Research shows that in a class of 30 one child could have experienced death, four could live in lone families, five could be living in absolute poverty and five could have mental health difficulties. Our current context at Canon Peter Hall mirrors these statistics, with the number of children in Upper KS2 cohorts experiencing these difficulties exceeding these statistics.
Why now?
Children at Canon Peter Hall benefit from a sustained quality of education which has prepared them effectively for future success, however, Covid 19 has left them vulnerable to mental health and well-being constraints which could limit them in achieving their full potential.
As a Church School, we will nurture children to understand that they are all extremely valuable. We are committed to enabling children to become responsible members of their local and global community who contribute positively to society.
Our school context is one of high levels of deprivation and it is therefore important to develop a strong sense of self-worth. The culture at Canon Peter Hall is built around preparing children for the world of work and their future life. Our PHRSE curriculum will equip children with the attitudes, relationships, personal and social skills that will act as a springboard to propel children to future success. They will know that “I can make things happen’’ and ‘’Only I can do it’’.
