• World Kindness Day!

  Fri 14 Nov 2025

  What a fabulous day filled to the brim with kindness! World Kindness Day is a very special day for us at Westerhope. It's a day we spread even more kindness within our school and community (if that's even possible!) while also learning about the impact being kind will have on our own physical and mental health.

  Here is a sprinkle of the magical, kind day...

• Kindness Club

  Fri 24 Oct 2025 Mrs Hay and Mrs Stokoe

  What a fabulous few weeks of Kindness Club! Each week we have been creating lots of kindness from making bookmarks and hiding them in our school library books as a surprise for the readers to creating special letters and pictures for those we care about. We also have become kindness experts learning about the science of kindness and how incredible it is for our mental and physical health! 

   

  If you missed out on Kindness Club, don't worry as Mrs Hay runs a lunchtime Wellbeing Club in our new wellbeing area every Wednesday lunchtime - open to everyone! Come along and create some kindness calm!
