For secondary school and sixth form-aged students, we are particularly highlighting the importance of the MenACWY vaccine, which protects against four strains of meningococcal bacteria (A, C, W and Y) that can cause meningitis and sepsis. Young people this age should also have their Td/IPV vaccine (teenage booster which reinforces protection against tetanus, diphtheria and polio), and their HPV vaccine (which protects against human papillomavirus, a virus that can lead to several types of cancer).

Officers are continuing to support our local schools and communities amid a concerning national social media trend encouraging pupils to engage in violent behaviour.

You will see extra officers out on high-visibility patrols in key areas during and after school today, and throughout the weekend, to make sure residents feel safe and reassured amid the ongoing circulation of these social media posts in South Yorkshire.

We hope you all have a restful February half-term and look forward to welcoming all students back to school on Monday 23rd February 2026.

The sun has been shining. We ate French toast and dippy eggs for breakfast (thank you, Dillon, Lexi, Cain and Lilly!) We were very productive weighing the lambs, building a fence and collecting eggs.

Ashley, Drew and Ezekiel made us a delicious lunch!

Tonight we are looking forward to a campfire and tasty dinner made by Lexi.

See you all soon!

This afternoon we went to the border with Wales to go on an adventure hike. Everyone was very strong and managed the whole way! We got to eat tasty cookies on our way made by Lilly and Cain, thanks guys!

We have had a fantastic day in the sunshine doing lots of different jobs.

Ashley, Drew and Charlene made us a fantastic cooked breakfast. Lexi and Dillon made us pizza for lunch.

Ezekiel bravely made friends with lots of animals. There was a lot of sheep drama, but they all made it to the right place in the end. Well done team!

We all had a lot of fun on the walk this evening too.

We will be holding two information sessions led by our Headteacher, Mrs Crewe. These will take place at the following times: Session 1: 4.30pm and Session 2: 5.30pm.

With activities running over break, lunch and after school
