My School Fund initiative

5th May 2021Mrs C Anderson
We’re pleased to announce that Brookvale Groby Learning Campus is part of the My School Fund initiative.
 
How does it work?
Parents, Guardians and Carers can sign up to the scheme for free and start earning cashback on the things they buy in participating retail stores, including Sainsbury’s and Argos. As you spend you’ll receive 2% cashback in the form of eGift vouchers that can be redeemed in participating stores. By linking your spend to our school on the My School Fund website we’ll also earn 1% cashback on your spend.
 
Add that all up across our school’s network of families and together we can all make a big difference!
 
 
This letter containing links and further information has been emailed to all of our Parents & Carers: https://bit.ly/3xQPGjc
 
THANK YOU in advance!

Stephen Lawrence Day 22nd April 2021

22nd April 2021Mrs C Anderson
Stephen Lawrence Day is about the part we all play in creating a society in which everyone can flourish. It is an opportunity for children and young people to have their voices heard, make the changes they’d like to see and create a society that treats everyone with fairness and respect.
 
Through Stephen Lawrence Day we want young people to be inspired about what they can achieve in their own lives whether in the their classroom, their community or a career. We want you to get involved in creating the kind of community you want to live in and we want you to have a strong voice in building a fairer and more inclusive society.

The Big Ask

20th April 2021Mrs C Anderson
HAVE YOUR SAY!

The Big Ask is a survey for children and young people aged 4–17 in England. The survey is split into different age groups, so you can fill in a version appropriate for your age. They have also made easy-read ‘accessible’ versions as well as a version for care leavers.


Why you should take part
This is your chance to have your say on the things that matter to you. You can say what your life is like, what you want in the future, and anything you think is holding you back.

They will use what you say to tell the people who run the country or your local area what you think needs to change to make your life better.

BCI Lockdown Legends
2 weeks before the Easter holidays, each BCI member of staff nominated 2 students who had impressed them during the recent lockdown (Jan to March). On the Friday before Easter (26th March), I presented them each with a certificate and an Easter egg by way of a thank you.
