Our Ethos

A small federation of small schools in South Norfolk. We are making the schools that we would have wanted to go to. By working together in collaboration, we improve one another and support each other to grow. Sunflowers are known for their resilience and symbolise hope, happiness, and growth. Our federation nurtures childrens’ academic, personal, and spiritual growth. It inspires children, staff, and parents to strive for excellence in all aspects of their life, just as sunflowers grow towards the sun and reach their full potential.

The roots, for Brooke CE VC’s church foundations, indicate that we are rooted and grounded in God's love, which is at the core of all our actions and educational philosophy. The stem represents our curriculum, which provides a strong foundation for our children across both schools to grow and thrive. The leaves symbolise our values, which drive our decision-making and behaviour. The petals are indicative of our key focuses such as DEI, careers, and compassion. Lastly, the bees and butterflies that are flying away from the sunflower represent the things that we want our children to leave us with, which are the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to make a positive impact in the world.

These wellbeing apps are tried and tested by our very own pupils here at Brooke. Here's what they had to say:

 Mylo Yr 5 - "There are lots of mindful games and breathing exercises in Chill Panda."

Aubrey Yr 4 - "I played Piku Calm Kids and the meditation was fun."

 

Apps are available to download on a home tablet or phone device. Please speak to a parent for help to download any of the apps.

Bottling up your feelings can make them hard to cope with. But there are lots of ways you can let them out. You can try some of the activities or games to help you to explore your feelings.

Telling someone how you feel can be tough, but it can really help you feel less alone

You don't need to tell someone everything at once. You could start by choosing one person you trust to talk to. You could talk to a friend, a parent or a teacher.

If you are finding talking hard, you can share a drawing, a story or a video with an adult to let them know how you are feeling.

 

  • Say one nice thing to someone every day
  • Smile (It's contagious)
  • Play a team game
  • Invite others to join in your games
  • Say please and thank you
  • Be there for others who are going through a hard time
  • Tell an adult if you see someone else being unkind

Can you recommend a book which is great for boosting wellbeing?

If you aren't quite feeling yourself, you can always talk to a teacher or a friend in school who you trust.
