Supporting Children and Young People in Second Half Of the Autumn Term
This half term has been another fantastic period for the Children and Young people team as we continue to guide students through the stages of the Growth Programme which has included community habitat sessions and coaching sessions. And although the brilliant Transition Project has now come to an end, our support is far from over. We continue to make regular check-ins to ensure our new Year 7 students feel settled, confident, and supported as they progress through their first year at their new schools.

Recording For Children In Need Radio
A Heart warming Morning in School with Our Children and Young People Team a few weeks ago they joined our Marketing and Communications Team in one of our partnered schools to record a very special radio segment. The children who take part in our after school programme were invited to share their experiences, as this programme is proudly funded by Children in Need.
We were approached to take part in a radio feature that highlights the work of CHEXS and how we support children and young people in everyday life. It was an incredible opportunity for the children to use their voices and talk about the positive impact the programme has had on their confidence and wellbeing.
Listening to these young people speak so openly was truly heartwarming. Their excitement, honesty and pride reminded us exactly why our work matters.
We are very proud of every young person who took part and to listen to the final radio piece and watch a video we put together please click blow.
