Our VISION is to be Here For Young People. We believe that all young people should be able to access the highest quality mental health and wellbeing support in a safe and welcoming environment. Our MISSION is to maintain and develop accessible, flexible and specialist services. We aim to respond to the psychological and social needs and challenges of young people under 25 years old. Values Compassion: We provide a welcoming and non-judgemental environment for young people to access support that helps them live healthy and fulfilled lives. Inclusion: We strive to remove barriers to access, and to use our expertise to provide services that our young people can trust to be safe and to meet their individual needs. Respect: We serve our diverse community, and work with our partners, with a willingness to collaborate, adapt, and recognise the importance of choice. ——————————————————————— Based in the heart of our local community, Brandon Centre offers a comfortable, welcoming, and non-institutional setting for young people to access a range of mental health and wellbeing services. Our self-referral system means that all young people can access the confidential care and support provided by our friendly and highly skilled team. Our innovative approach applies psychotherapeutic principles to devise and implement mental health services, and we partner with schools, youth offending services and advice agencies to engage and reach out to high priority groups of young people. As well as individual therapeutic help for young people, we also offer effective intervention for families of young people in serious trouble with the law, and for parents struggling to bring up a teenager whose behaviour is out-of-control. Our approach combines leading-edge service delivery with audit, research, and the rigorous evaluation of outcomes. This has further enhanced our reputation as an accessible and collaborative provider of mental health and wellbeing support to young people under 25, helping them to overcome difficulties and become healthy and fulfilled young adults.

Bourne Education Trust Enterprises

bourne education trust enterprises

Bourne Education Trust (‘BET’) was established in 2011 and has grown steadily since then. It is largely Surrey based with 20 of its 26 schools there, but has also expanded into Hampshire and Richmond. It is made up of 20 academies, 5 associate schools and one free school due to open in September 2024. Of its 26 schools, 13 are primaries, 9 are secondaries, 2 are alternative provision and, with the new free school, 2 are specialist schools. It is responsible for the education of approximately 12,500 pupils and employs just over 1,300 staff. The Trust is organised into both phases and clusters to support specialist and cross-phase collaboration. Pupils working independently The size of BET's schools range from a one-form entry primary to an 8-form entry secondary school with a sixth form. Schools are equally important and carry the same influence in terms of decision-making within the Trust. Each school has its own Head and Local Governing Committee. The Trust is led by a core team of Alex Russell, Chief Executive Officer ('CEO'), Kate Sanders, Chief Operating Officer ('COO'), and Penny Alford, Chief Education Officer ('CEdO'). Since 2012 it has taken 9 schools from special measures or requiring improvement to good or outstanding. The rest have maintained their good status whilst in the Trust. BET has transformed the finances in 12 of its schools so that no school in the Trust is in deficit. BET’s values are summarised by our strapline: ‘Transforming schools; changing lives’. We absolutely believe that all children regardless of context or background deserve a great education, hence our involvement in schools and communities that have not always experienced this. Whilst we want our schools to retain their own identity, all BET schools share environments that are extremely warm and welcoming, professional, relentlessly positive, highly aspirational and characterised by happy and safe pupils with excellent relationships between them and the staff. In all classrooms and beyond pupils enjoy creative and effective teaching and learning that fosters belief and confidence. Auriolbet 113 Our philosophy is to have schools working as effectively as possible and serving their community. We err towards independence but never forget we are one organisation working together. Our schools welcome the support of the Trust and its collective ethos but relish their remit as local schools and the responsibility that brings. We are highly focussed on our work on equality, diversity and inclusion ('EDI') and environment, social and governance ('ESG') to ensure our organisation is highly sustainable and a driver for social justice. This permeates through our Trust-wide think tank, BET Futures, our CPD offer and our quality assurance approach.

Ranelagh School

ranelagh school

Berkshire,

The opportunity to educate other people’s children is a rare privilege, bringing with it a huge responsibility to provide the best all-round education possible as we aim to prepare young people for happiness and success in their adult lives. At Ranelagh we take this responsibility extremely seriously. We care about the individual and pride ourselves in the warmth of a community in which all our students feel valued. We live in exciting and fast changing times and this means that providing an outstanding, progressive and well-rounded education is more important than ever. Of course examination results matter and at Ranelagh our students consistently achieve excellent results in all areas of the curriculum, giving them access to the top universities in the UK and overseas. In its latest Ofsted inspection report of March 2015, Ranelagh is judged to be an outstanding school that ‘provides an excellent education for all of its students, preparing them well for their futures and for life in modern Britain.’ However, this is just one aspect of the education at Ranelagh and students are supported to show ambition both within and beyond the classroom. As a Church of England School, supported by the diocese of Oxford, education at Ranelagh is provided within the context of Christian belief and practice. In its latest SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) report of April 2019, Ranelagh is referred to as ‘a school in which a deeply held, strongly Christian vision shapes all aspects of its work’; the school is described as a place in which that vision is lived out as ‘a harmonious, vibrant, and successful learning community’. This is a happy school in which we encourage an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith and promote Christian values through the experiences we offer each individual. School should be fun and happy children are more likely to be successful. We see it as our responsibility to bring out our students’ talents, to broaden their interests and to develop their personal qualities. The Ranelagh Student Learner Profile qualities underpin everything that we do and are an integral part of our culture and ethos. We aim to foster confidence, resilience, curiosity, creativity, empathy and independence so that students are ready to make a really positive contribution to their wider community. Tradition is important at Ranelagh and still shapes some of our guiding principles but we seek to build on the past while looking to the future. This is, and will remain, a forward-thinking school that enthusiastically embraces innovation and new opportunity. I hope that you will accept my invitation to visit Ranelagh. It is a truly remarkable school, and it will be a privilege to welcome you here.

There is considerable extra-curricular provision in sport and the performing and creative arts. We also have an extensive programme of educational visits. ‘Preparing our students to succeed in tomorrow’s world’ is our ethos statement. This is achieved in a happy, safe culture where students and staff work together towards shared goals. Academic outcomes at both GCSE and ‘A’ Level are excellent and are well above national averages every year. Students also excel in sports and the arts, with a rich array of extra-curricular activities on offer to all year groups .The musical drama productions and sporting achievements are particularly impressive and indicative of what our students can achieve beyond the curriculum. The dedicated and committed staff at QEGS bring out the best in every student. Students are presented with many opportunities and encouraged to be aspirational in everything they do. All staff work closely with parents to ensure that students get the right level of challenge and support to flourish. Additional support is always available through our excellent pastoral system, where necessary. The school has been graded ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted at our last inspection, but we are never complacent about this and are constantly striving to raise expectations and achievement, for all members of our community. Tradition is important at QEGS and our ethos is infused with the traditional values of respect, honesty, responsibility and self-discipline. At the same time we are preparing our students to excel in the 21st century with its many and varied challenges. We make effective use of the latest technology and are constantly developing our learning resources and pedagogy. A new suite of classrooms for the Modern Foreign Languages Department opened last year, for example, with the latest interactive facilities to aid student learning. Queen Elizabeth Grammar School is a thriving community where every student is valued and every student succeeds. If you would like more information, or to arrange a visit, please contact the school.

Generation Women

I spent the first half of my career in a thick fog, and of course I got lost and ended up somewhere I didn’t want to be. I felt lost, miserable, and what little confidence I had was waning by the minute. I also became a total bore. I was consumed by how unhappy I was. I couldn’t even apply for another job because I didn’t know what I’d do. So I felt stuck. I had, by many measures, a great job, a great salary, in a great company. But I was in the wrong place. I was ambitious with nowhere to direct it, so it evolved into frustration! It took a fair bit of effort to turn it around, which started with working out what I wanted and developing some much needed confidence to get there. Thankfully I had a good basis with my Psychology degree, throw in a mountain of self-help books, a coaching and NLP qualification, a mountain of training on presenting and the like…and a real desire to build my brand, visbility, and expertise, meant I built a reputation for business and leadership transformation. That experience of having a big impact, being recognised, and having real influence made me feel like I could achieve anything. My values, purpose, and strengths were all aligned and I felt amazing! It came as quite a shock then to be confronted by my inner feminist one day. I’d had my first daughter (I now have 2), and was having a cheeky nap. You know how it is, I love my sleep! So for the first time ever, I sat her down in front of Nickelodeon so I could get some zzz’s. I was happily snoozing away when the advertising started to filter through to me. The ‘boys toys’ were all exciting and adventurous. The ‘girls toys’ made me want to vomit. All about being pretty and vacuous. I jumped off the sofa with an ‘oh hell no’! Ever since I was a little girl I’ve been driven by fairness. I think it may be because I’m the youngest of 4 and nothing ever seemed fair from my standpoint. My sister tells me of times I used to fight for gay rights at the dinner table and I was always arguing for what I felt was right (because it is). The one thing I’d never have called myself back then, or until that day, was a feminist. No, I’d been well trained by society to see feminists as embarrassing, hairy, dungaree-wearing angry women who made a show of themselves. This moment set a chain of events into action that lead me to start a political party where I live, and gave me the direction for the business I would later start.

Lion King Shirt: A Brand That Helps You Honor Your Family Legacy

lion king shirt: a brand that helps you honor your family legacy

Family forms the heart of our lives - we all know this. They raised us, educated us, gave us the memories and traditions that define who we are. Yet, as we grow up and have our own paths, modern life can weaken those family bonds. That’s why you have to make some genuine effort to preserve them. And that’s where the brand Lion King Shirt [https://lionkingshirt.com] comes in. As a famous POD T-shirt brand, this store has served so many families over the years, and they all share the same love and reverence for each other. The team commits to creating custom POD T-shirts that are centered around your family. From reflecting your lineages, to celebrating your memories, the brand’s talented designers make sure that your bond echoes for generations. LION KING SHIRT EXPLAINS: HOW POD T-SHIRTS HAVE BONDED FAMILIES IN AMERICA 1. Creating A Sense Of Belonging By wearing custom T-shirts together at reunions and holidays, you can reconnect the whole family, even families that have fallen out of touch for a long time. It is only natural: once all the members have united under the same fabric, it builds a sense of pride in your heritage, nurturing new and old bonds alike. Though times will change, these special T-shirts remind you of your shared roots, which run deeper than anything. No matter what your name is, where you come from or how you look, you are united by blood. By ordering a simple T-shirt design that says, “The Anderson family” or something, you remind all the members that their lives are sewn together, by invisible threads that far outlive the human memory. 2. Preserving Memories Through Clothing Not all families stay together through the years. In America, children usually move out when they’re 18, and only come back home once in a while. All the more reasons for your family to have some custom T-shirts, so your bond can transcend space and time. For example, when you send a POD T-shirt to a child studying overseas, that shirt is not just fabric anymore. It becomes a living archive of memories; it ensures that your kid has something to remember his or her roots. As they look at the design in the mirror, they’re instantly taken back to their first baby steps, and taken through a long path of memory. POD T-shirts can bring your folks together like never before. 3. Strengthen The Family Identity This usually applies to families with more “unique” traditions and identity. For instance, if you’re born in Texas, and your come from a long line of shepherds, a POD T-shirt with a sheep will certainly tug on your heartstrings. Thanks to T-shirts with unique symbols and elements, you can represent the intangible, yet unbreakable bonds in your family. The bond can be anything: from natural scenery, to names and dates, to images of your shared dreams. These T-shirts are much more than fleeting trends. They are the chronicles of your folks’ traditions, values and ideals. HONOR YOUR FAMILY WITH LION KING T SHIRT DESIGNS AND CUSTOMIZATION 1. Designs That Reflect Family Heritage And Legacy If you want to create designs that represent your proud family, then you’re in luck. In this famous POD T-shirt brand, there is a vast and diverse array of options to honor your lineage. Buckle up, you’re about to go through quite a trip! In the category for family, the brand offers so many types of T-shirts that visualize the dates, triumphs, histories, landscapes and ideals from many family generations. When you browse the website, you can choose among thousands of options. There are T-shirts of pioneers settling in Texas, or the forefathers that build the first bricks of Washington D.C. There are no limits to this reputable brand. You can even design and customize a T-shirt on your own. The brand offers a customized page on the website that is very easy to understand. You can add photos of your family, the important dates and years, or a familiar holiday attraction you used to visit. Anything you need to make your legacy immortal, Lion King Shirt has got it. 2. Honoring The Loved Ones Who Have Left So Soon When it comes to family, there is a very sensitive topic that few brands dare to touch: grief. Thankfully, Lion King T Shirt [https://bento.me/lionkingshirt] empathizes with this pain, and turns it into beautiful designs. Every family has been through grief at least once. Many kind souls have been called to heaven too soon; they never had a chance to meet younger generations. Thanks to customized T-shirts from this brand, you can commemorate the loved ones who have left. If you have any old photos, don’t hesitate to send them over. The brand’s talented designers will try their best to restore those pictures to HD resolution, then print on the best type of fabric. With these designs, every member in your family can say their farewells and have a proper closure. Even the young kids can know about the ones who have passed, and learn about their lifetime passions and talents. As you can see, T-shirts are not just for our material needs, they help spread our blessings to the spiritual world too. With this sacred service, the brand makes sure that your loved ones will stay in your heart, giving you strength and bravery every day. With POD designs, your loved ones will always be with you. 3. Helping You Make New Memories But POD T-shirts are not just for replicating history. The brand has some very vibrant and creative designs, allowing you to create new and modern memories with your family. For example, if someone in the house is getting married, don’t miss this chance! Come down to the brand’s website and start ordering a wedding design. You can add as many elements as you want, from flowers to chocolates to rings. Or if a member’s expecting a child soon, go ahead and print the toddler’s name and sonograph. The same goes for anniversaries, holidays, and everything in between! Because the designing and printing process is so quick, the brand can make sure you won’t miss a beat in celebrating your family’s events. As the years go by, you can add the many T-shirts to a wardrobe, then look back to see how much the family has blossomed. OTHER LION KING TEE SHIRTS SERVICES FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 1. Caring Customer Services Here in this brand, there’s an entire team of staff, and they commit their full time to make sure your family feels respected, supported and uplifted throughout each experience. To be specific: on regular work days, the team keeps all of their contact channels up and active, so all of your questions will be answered in a matter of hours, and definitely not longer than a day.

They consider it their personal mission to fulfill your order, as if they were taking care of their own family. 2. Transparent Policies For Peace Of Mind In Lion King Tee Shirts [https://kikoxp.com/lion_king_shirt], the team understands that there are customers of all ages, and they might not be aware of the policies in a POD brand. That’s why the brand has publicized all of their policies on the website, crystal-clear for the world to read. The team understands that POD T-shirts are a very special type of goods. They’re produced in a non-traditional way, so their shipping times and quality are erratic too. So if your order is damaged, mistaken, or otherwise different from what you want, please contact the brand immediately. They can offer you plenty of solutions, from refund to replacement. There are crystal-clear policies to help you get the T-shirts. 3. Secure Payment And Easy Tracking Finally, the team takes security very seriously. Because the entire purchase process is made online, many people are concerned for their privacy, especially your grandparents and parents. To make sure your family feels safe and secure, the brand has applied many precautions to protect your payment info from falling into the wrong hands. On the website, you can see some very straightforward policies, stating that no third party can see your credit card numbers. That way, you and your families can go shopping with confidence, and create awesome T-shirts that accurately reflect your lineage. FINAL VERDICT In the fast-moving world of today, family relationships are easily affected, and threatening what we cherish most. Thankfully, with the POD brand Lion King Shirt, you can revive traditions, create memories and unite your family for life. From your kids to your grandparents, your whole family can receive unique T-shirts that enrich their lives and protect their memories.

Durham Johnston Comprehensive School

durham johnston comprehensive school

Durham

We are a happy and thriving school in the heart of Durham City. We believe that each word in our school name is hugely important and is linked directly to our ethos and values, and what we seek to do on a daily basis. We are proud to serve the people of County Durham and our students are drawn from a wide geographical area. We take our name from James Finley Weir Johnston, a successful scientist who bequeathed money so that both boys and girls from Durham could access a high-quality education. We have been providing a rich and varied academic curriculum since 1901 and are proud to have a long and distinguished history. Subject specific knowledge and an awareness of Britain and the wider world are hugely important as students develop and learn. The quality of education that we offer is comprehensive in terms of both breadth and scope. We are also a comprehensive school in terms of the wide variety of backgrounds and circumstances that members of our school community come from. Increasingly, our students are drawn from a wide variety of nations and continents too. That diversity is one of our greatest strengths Our staff are highly experienced and combine subject specialism with a commitment to pastoral care and student support. All students have equal access to a well-planned curriculum, a wide range of opportunities for personal development and the chance to learn from the others within our school community. We believe firmly in social justice and equality of opportunity for all; when students cross our threshold each morning, they have access to the same opportunities. As a school we believe in education in its widest sense; students can learn a huge amount both in and beyond the classroom, and, of equal importance, by interacting and working with others. The personal development of each student is key to their future success, and we offer a diverse range of extracurricular opportunities, as well as encouraging participation in public service, particularly through our well established House System. In their time with us we want all of our students to make excellent academic progress based upon their starting points, to acquire knowledge, to access opportunities regardless of previous experiences or circumstance, to support others within and beyond our community and to leave us for further success as adults. We are a big and busy comprehensive school, and all teaching and support staff are united in wanting the best for our students. We work hard, and look for ways to adapt, improve, and create new opportunities for our young people. We don’t always get things right and sometimes encounter issues and circumstances for which there aren't easy solutions, but we are honest about that and seek to work closely with parents and carers. We want all students to enjoy their time with us, to be successful and to look back on their time at Durham Johnston Comprehensive School positively.
