Our followers will be well aware of our fabulous relationship with Thingwall Primary School.
Recently, both settings were mentioned in each other’s professional body inspections! Trepassey was referred to in Thingwall’s Ofsted report…
“Pupils’ compassion and care for others are celebrated through the school’s successful intergenerational project. Leaders have implemented a partnership with a local care home that links meaningfully with the curriculum. Pupils learn about life in the past and the qualities needed to be successful in life.”
…and Thingwall were referred to in Trepassey’s CQC report:
“The provider had developed an exceptionally positive relationship with a local primary school, enabling regular intergenerational visits that enriched the lives of people using the service and the children involved. Throughout the year, residents and pupils participated in a range of shared initiatives, including the Positive Painting Project, Positive Planting Project and Positive Performance Project.
Feedback from the school evidenced the significant impact of these activities. Teachers reported that pupils had developed greater confidence, empathy, communication skills and a genuine understanding of different generations through their interactions with residents. The school described the partnership as highly valued, stating, “The memories created, and the laughter shared are wonderful and very much valued by all.”
Needless to say, both settings were pleased with the recognition that our intergenerational links have received, as we know the links are invaluable to all ages...
From making vegetable soup from scratch on Tuesday, to rehearsing their harvest festival assembly with us, giving our residents goody bags and finding out their shared values this afternoon!
