Post-16 Education Information Morning
Yesterday, all of our Year 11 students took part in our Post-16 Education Information Morning, where they had the opportunity to hear from representatives from a range of local colleges and education providers.
Students were able to meet the visiting representatives, learn more about the different opportunities available to them, and ask questions about their options for further study after Cove School.
This is an important time for our Year 11 students as they begin to consider their next steps and make decisions about their future.
We strongly encourage students to attend as many college open events as possible, giving them the chance to explore different courses, facilities and learning environments, and to gather the information they need to make informed choices as they begin the college application process.
Thank you to all of the Post-16 education representatives who joined us for our event!

#Cove School 02 October
Overthinking can make a small worry feel huge.
It often shows up at bedtime, before school, after a tricky conversation, or when your child is trying to make the “right” choice. The mind goes round and round, looking for certainty that simply is not there.
A helpful pause can be as simple as asking: “Do I know this for sure?” “Will this still matter next week?” “Is there one small thing I can do now?”
If there is no action to take, it is okay to write the worry down and come back to it later. A walk, a stretch, a few slow breaths, or putting the phone aside can help bring the body out of alarm too.
Children do not need perfect answers from us. They need calm reminders that a thought is not always a fact, and that they do not have to solve everything tonight.
