At Rookesbury Park School, the Head Pippa Harris-Burland is building a school of strengths. She says, ‘My vision is for Rookesbury to develop as a strengths-based school, using our environment more effectively, where we are known for our high academic standards, and challenging our pupils with a stimulating curriculum in a nurturing family environment. Happiness is the key to all learning and an enhanced education, where each child is treated as an individual and given the space and time to flourish.’ Pippa has implemented an Enrichment program for Years 7 and 8, training the pupils in Leadership Learning, Peer Mediation and Skills for life. She is a huge advocate of the well being of the children; their happiness is her top priority. ‘Through such activities as yoga, Circle Time, setting Smart targets and all the sport the children are involved in here, their spiritual well being has been shown to facilitate better results in the classroom as well as creating a happy and flourishing school.’ Come and see us in action; our children would love to show you around. Please call Diana Todd in the school office: 01329 833 108; we would love to see you.
