Huish Episcopi Academy

huish episcopi academy

Somerset

Our Academy consists of almost 1500 learners with 215 students in Huish Sixth. Set in the heart of the beautiful Somerset levels we have a catchment area of approximately 200 sq miles and work with 11 partner primary schools within our Community Learning Partnership. As an Academy we are consistently oversubscribed with large numbers of pupils joining us from beyond our catchment area. We have a staff of almost 200 teachers and support staff with 98 teachers split across a range of faculties and departments. Larger faculties include Mathematics, English, Science and Modern Languages while other areas such as the Arts and Humanities are based on smaller departments. Within our structures we have Progress Leaders in Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 and Post-16 who are responsible for the monitoring of standards and ensuring that every pupil makes the maximum amount of progress. These Progress Leaders are supported by Student Support Workers, who much like a triage nurse in a hospital, will offer an immediate service and then refer students on for more serious issues such as safeguarding. The heart of our pastoral system is based around the Student Services Hub which also houses our Parent and Family Support Adviser, Counsellor and Attendance Officer. We are very conscious that many of our pupils will be joining from smaller primary schools, and so we have a very well established transition programme to support pupils who join our Academy. Pupils meet their tutor every morning and afternoon to "touch base" as well as check planners and undertake a variety of learning activities within our Extra Curriculum Time programme. Huish Episcopi Academy has an excellent reputation and is recognised as a place where all pupils are inspired and challenged to go beyond what they ever thought was possible for them both in terms of academic standards and experiences beyond the classroom. This is reflected in our belief that developing rounded individuals who are not only academically successful, but who also have opportunities to develop other key skills, such as leadership, teamwork and communication, which will give them the edge when it comes to future challenges. This continues to be very important within Huish Sixth where both employment and university places depend on being able to rise above the rest. We believe in offering "results plus" so that great academic outcomes alongside a host of memorable learning experiences combine to produce an individual student with great attributes such as aspiration, leadership, empathy and confidence alongside fantastic academic achievements. In addition to the great learning and social environment within Huish Sixth we are able to offer a highly experienced team of teachers and support staff with a great track record of achieving the very best results possible for students. We believe that Huish Sixth, with approximately 215 students, is large enough to offer a very broad curriculum to meet a wide range of abilities supported by a huge number of artistic, sporting and other enrichment opportunities. Equally though Huish Sixth is small enough to get to know students as people, to understand their aspirations and educational needs so that we can ensure they get a personalised package of challenge and support.

TEACHING: A teacher to me is on the one hand an enabler, someone who assists skilfully in the learning of another without claiming to be anything more than a facilitator. I aim at empowering students to own their experience and process and find their inner teacher. On the other hand, a teacher is someone who through practice, experience and study reached a level of knowledge and understanding which when it is shared enriches someone else's experience. I enjoy sharing what I've learned and keep studying a variety of subjects, practising with my teachers and learning from my students. A central dimension of my teaching is space holding. Holding space is like externalising mindfulness into 3D: creating a space of presence, awareness, trust, clarity, empathy, curiosity, and non-judgment for a person or a group. YOGA: I believe in the power of a yoga practice because - both as practitioner and teacher - I have experienced and witnessed significant shifts in inner as well as outer state and the experience of being alive. Firstly, it is a system that is based on ethical principles. It offers multidimensional practices ranging from movement and postures to concentration, relaxation and meditation all of which promote awareness, healing and training of our physical body, our breathing, our energetic body, our senses, and our mind. There is something for everyone. To connect to ourselves, we need to spend some time with, get to know and begin to accept, respect and love ourselves for who we are. My intention is to teach in a mindful way putting awareness first. The main teaching focus are breath- and heart-centred practices with accompanying movement and postures - yoga from the inside out. There are various studies that prove the positive effects of conscious breathing on psychological and physiological healing and a calmer state of mind. The techniques become tools that serve your personal journey and enrich your life. A yoga class also offers the opportunity to connect with and support each other without words or touch but through sound and breathing. THE FEMALE BODY: Since my first pregnancy yoga teacher training, I have gone on a journey of discovery around topics specifically relevant to the female body experience. It is a fascinating, beautiful and sometimes intense field of work. The intensity comes from the fact that the changes pre- and postnatally on a physiological, mental-emotional, practical and spiritual level can be incredibly challenging yet the mainstream message is to 'just get on with it' and 'to get your body back'. My intention is to bring women together, to hold space for their experience and offer useful practices for their special state of health. To deepen my knowledge around birth and to be able to offer more support for women and supporting men, I took a doula training in 2016. The more I learned, studied and experienced in this field, I realised that there is a lack of awareness around the importance of a healthy pelvic floor for general wellbeing alongside with shame and lack of opportunity to talk about issues like incontinence, prolapse and pain. I am passionate about doing my bit to change this by offering pelvic floor workshops for women. Another reality in a female body is a menstrual cycle and menopause. There is beautiful wisdom to be had when these female life and monthly cycles are embraced. Living as if we didn't have a cycle leads to ongoing underlying stress and a plenitude of health issues. In the era of the #metoo campaign, it is more evident than ever that there is a lot of trauma in women's bodies and hearts. I hold women's circles and half day retreats based in yoga which are a safe place to be and share.

Cathy Chiplen Compassionate Therapies

cathy chiplen compassionate therapies

Taunton

I have been building my Complementary Therapy practice since 2005. Initially offering Reflexology and Reiki, and more recently I have added Sound Healing to my portfolio. I am also a qualified Soul Midwife, which is a holistic and spiritual companion to the dying, assisting people to make a gentle transition at the end of their life. Following some deeply profound personal experiences with death over the last 20 years I trained in 2017 with Felicity Warner, founder of the Soul Midwives School, Dorset. I am deeply honoured to be a mentor for newly qualified Soul Midwives in the Somerset & Bath And North East Somerset areas. Please see my Soul Midwifery Page for more information on this amazing work. I am passionate about empowering people to achieve a real sense of health, harmony and wellbeing. I can help you to rest, relax and really give yourself the time and space you need to just BE. I heard a saying recently along the lines of ‘we are human beings, not human doings’ and that really resonates with me ….. so often we are so caught up in the minutiae of everyday life, it’s hard to stand back, take stock and just breathe. That’s where I can help you to reconnect to yourself and to assist you to get your mind, body, emotions and spirit back into balance. Our bodies are always striving for homeostasis, which is perfect balance, and through our work together I can support you in this. I always say, it’s not me doing the work, it’s you who do it, I am just guiding the way. With a gentle loving touch, the right amount of empathy and shed loads of empowerment I can support and guide you into a greater sense of health and wellbeing. I support clients with a wide range of varying lifestyles, conditions and needs. I treat you holistically, which means I see you as a whole person rather than a collection of symptoms. I am a fully qualified Reflexologist, Sound Healer and a Reiki Master/Teacher in the Usui tradition and lineage. I hold full membership of the Association of Reflexologists and I co-lead one of the Associations Area Groups for Reflexologists. I treat my therapy clients in a relaxed home environment and always give them quality time and focused attention. I treat as I find and am governed by my clients needs rather than the clock. My aim is to give each client the space to totally relax and unwind, allowing the body to heal itself. One of my absolute passions is supporting women along their fertility, conception and birth journey. Through my own struggles with fertility I have a deep understanding of the urgent yearning for a child and the frustrations and self-recrimination this can bring, not to mention the strain on your relationship. I offer a non-judgemental empathetic listening ear, I have tissues for when you feel low and I will cheer you on when you share your good news with me. I am a strong advocate for natural pregnancy, childbirth and parenting but I would never push my own views on anyone, I support women in all their various choices. I am a qualified Breastfeeding Peer Supporter and am always happy to assist with any questions regarding any aspect of pregnancy, birthing, breastfeeding and so on. I had all three of my children at home in our own little birthing pool using homeopathy and Hypnobirthing to support me. I am very pro women’s choice for all aspects – Your body, your baby, your choices! See my Helpful Links Page for signposting to other professionals and further resources such as classes and groups supporting new parents. When I’m not working I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and our three lovely children, one of our favourite activities is walking our dog, Saffy, at Hestercombe Gardens, or on the surrounding hills. I also enjoy a Kundalini Yoga class each week with Shivdev Kaur and a Kayaking, Canoeing or Stand-Up Paddleboarding session with TASCC (Taunton Adventurous Sport Canoe Club) so I have time as just ‘Cathy’ rather than ‘Mum’ or ‘Therapist’!

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.

Once they’ve committed to their buyers’ wellbeing and benefits, all other success will follow. Dear families in America, you can rest assured that this POD brand has got you covered.

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.

She has twenty years’ experience as a management consultant, leader and educator, and set up the School of Dialogue to teach conflict resolution skills. Arabella mediates independently and on behalf of the Medical Mediation Foundation, Resolve West and other panels where she specialises in lending her ‘expertise by experience’ in the fields of mental health and neurodiversity. Arabella’s 70+ case history since 2016 include mediations in the fields of Judicial Review, Court of Protection, Mental Health Act, Mental Capacity Act, Local Government, workplace, employment, community and public sector dispute resolution.’ I am an independent consultant specialising in dialogue facilitation, conflict resolution and partnership-building. My business development experience, studies in educational leadership and experience in dispute resolution combine effectively to allow me to support organisations, employees, families and individuals in finding win-win resolutions within complex scenarios. I have 20 years experience working in a strategic capacity for public, private and third sector organisations in the UK and overseas, and I have specialist consulting experience in the fields of sustainability, education and health/social care. I have also taught and managed at secondary level internationally and in the independent sector in the UK, and founded/directed a theatre company devoted to promoting the understanding of mental health and social exclusion. I am a CEDR-Accredited Mediator qualified to undertake employment, workplace, commercial, civil and community mediation. In 2017 I became a CEDR Associate with the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR), joining their world-renowned training faculty. In the community setting, I am a Certificated Mediator with Resolve West (previously Bristol Mediation) resolving neighbour disputes and hate crime cases. I am also the cofounder of Equisphere Employability and a workplace mental health trainer for Bath Mind. In the healthcare setting, I am a mediator, trainer and conflict coach with the Medical Mediation Foundation. I am a Quality Improvement Coach with the Q Community (NHS Improvement & Health Foundation) and a Public & Patient Involvement advisor for the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR). I am a Member of End of Life Doula UK and have undertaken Advance Care Planning training with Living Well Dying Well. I am also a qualified Mental Health First Aid Instructor training groups to become Mental Health First Aiders in their contexts. I am a member of the Civil Mediation Council as a Member of the Association of South West Mediators. I abide by the European Code of Conduct for Mediators. I have DBS clearance and am fully insured as a mediator, trainer,educator, mentor and coach. Professional Experience & Skills Overview Facilitation and Organisational Dialogue Strategic development and team coaching in the workplace Communications and engagement for public-facing organisations Design and delivery of multi-organisational commercial partnerships Stakeholder engagement for effective policy development Conflict Intervention and Negotiation Interpersonal mediation and conflict resolution for workplace contexts Conflict coaching and mediation for highly-escalated community conflicts Brokerage of interorganisational partnerships for socio-economic benefit Leadership Design / delivery of Leadership Skills for Employability training for University of Bath Postgraduate certificate in Educational Leadership & Management (2011) Founder of three social enterprises and experienced team leader and manager International Competence Partnerships negotiator for European Green Capital 2015 Merger & Acquisition consultancy – UK/Spain Educator in vocational, business and enterprise skills – Coimbatore, India Training and Coaching Experienced teacher, trainer, mentor and coach specialising in communication Mentor to young leaders in enterprise on Future Talent programme Mental Health First Aider and specialist trainer in mental health with Mind Charity My style and my specialisms I came to the practice of Conflict Resolution and Mediation through two distinct routes. One was through doing management consulting in the public and private sectors, and coming to understand just how much stress, inefficiency and sadness arises from communication and conflict difficulties in the workplace. The other route was through being a patient, a parent of children with disabilities and a family carer, and witnessing how difficult it can be to make plans for the future when the present involves difficult discussions and many people. So I specialise in making sure that people feel comfortable with the process they undertake with me, and that it leads them towards feeling comfortable and confident about their future. I aim to be thoroughly supportive, reassuring and encouraging at all times. My professional work and personal experience in health and social care mean that I am particularly experienced in supporting people who are living with any form of illness, disability, mental health condition or life-limiting condition. I have particular personal experience of working with people who are deaf or hearing impaired, on the autism spectrum, experiencing mental illness and living with dementia or stroke. Why I love being a mediator I came to mediation through a confluence of circumstances which made me think, ‘There must be a better way for people to deal with their difficulties than to threaten legal action, or refuse to engage in communication at all!’ I realised that a great deal of my management consultancy work was really… conflict resolution. It gave me such pleasure and relief when long-held rifts within and between teams melted away after some good, authentic communication. This piqued my interest to find out more about the art of conflict resolution, and I did my first certificated training, and started practising as a community mediator. Later I qualified as a civil and employment mediator, and have been mediating ever since. It’s astonishing to witness people’s lives turn from a turmoil of distressing, intractable ‘stuckness’, to a new phase in which, for example, neighbours can conceive of greeting each other again; or work colleagues re-establish trust between each other after maybe years of mistrust, stress and non-communication. Mediation takes empathy, patience and persistence, and it is a skill I will develop and hone endlessly over years to come, but its core aspect is a belief that people really can find peace again, given the right support and a safe space to explore options for settling differences. Facilitating such processes is a real honour. Nothing beats the sight of former disputants smiling, shaking hands, or even (more often than you would think) hugging, at the end of a mediation.
